How Many Thought… (One I Know Of)

Every morning on my drive into work I hear the same thing on sports talk radio:  “How many people thought the Niners would have a winning season, let alone make the NFC Championship game?”
Well, I was one…
When the folks at work asked me how I thought the Niners would do, I pulled up the schedule and made my calls.  I predicted 11 wins and 5 loses.
Needless to say there was a loud round of laughter…
Obviously, I was wrong.  We finished 13 – 3. Now 14 – 3!!!  So much for the “one and done” predictions against the Niners in the Saints game.

Choices And Decisions

If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn’t help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we’ve got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don’t want to do it.
