My mind takes me back to an occasion a few decades ago. I spoke at an NFL team’s pregame chapel service. The Chaplain who invited me told me the renowned quarterback of the team was a a faithful attender. “Does he know the Lord?” I inquired. “Well … “ responded the Chaplain, “He says he does, but considers it a completely private matter.” When met with this response I always wonder if a person really understands the gravity of our sins and the incredible price that Jesus Christ paid for us on the cross.

There’s a scene from The Simpsons that I think about a lot (there are a lot of scenes from The Simpsons that I think about a lot), where Mr. Burns gets the results of some medical testing you know what I’m just gonna have you watch it.

Hedge fund legend Julian Robertson passed away this past August (Institutional Investor obituary, WSJ obituary, Bloomberg obituary). In my search for lessons from his life I revisited my archive of articles as well as the best chapter on Robertson which is in Sebastian Mallaby’s More Money Than God (I’ve talked to Mallaby about the history of hedge funds including Tiger). There is also a book about Robertson, A Tiger in the Land of Bulls and Bears, but it didn’t blow me away.
