Ephesians 5 5 1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. 3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

I grew up enjoying football with my dad.I surprised my husband when we first met with my knowledge of football.He would name a city..and I could tell him the matching Team name.Easy ones like… Chicago/ Bears.Green Bay, Packers…Pittsburgh, Steelers.. and the harder ones…like Minnesota, Vikings.St. Louis, Rams.Anyway, since we live in Atlanta, we have always watched the Falcons (winning or losing, but winning is more fun).
Tomorrow, there is no Falcons game, but I am geared up to watch the New England Patriots battle the Denver Broncos.If you haven’t followed football, you wouldn’t know that the Denver Broncos aren’t usually a winning team. …and as such, haven’t enjoyed much of a fan base.All that has been changing with Tim Tebow as their quarter back.Some find Tim Tebow terrible annoying because of his constant praise of the LORD and his pattern of not going for half an hour without a mention of God orsome aspect of his Christian belief.Being a believer myself, I am so proud of him for being a positive role model for kids and not bowing to peer pressure..or pressure to be less than what God has called him to be.Some want to say his wins are flukes.But it is a fact that he arrives early in the morning and leaves long after most of his teammates have departed. Even in College, he was known for his hard work training, running plays, lifting weights and running springs. . Now that he is in the NFL, his assiduousness is in improving his throwing while also studying his opponents. Surprisingly, the phrase most often attributed to him is not a Christian phrase but ….., “Tell me how I can get better.”
Tom Brady, the quarterback for the Patriots has been talking smack about Tebow.This isn’t surprising since some say their coach, Bill Belichick is an evil genius-coach..of sorts. Tom Brady believes he will easily win over Tebow.Coach John Fox, the Broncos coach, have time and time again had very close…victories.Russell loves to cheer for the under dog..and I suppose..as much as I don’t like it…Tebow would be the underdog in the situation. We shall see…. If you haven’t seen it… enjoy this SWEET autoTUne of a song about Tebow…
Before you jump to the conclusion that I am saying Christian are "brainless" sheep, read this post completely. If you still aren't sure, read this post: Are Christians brainless? Why does He call us SHEEP? ( The Bible makes reference to sheep no less than 220 times). A few of the more notable passages that come to mind are the 23 rd Psalm, Isa. 53:6 and John 10. There are many references to His People being sheep. So why not something more powerful, like a ram or horse? Why not something more graceful and valued, like a prized bird? Well, God chose to use the word sheep to identify His followers, as we are "His sheep." Our shepherd, Jesus, is leading the way, so let's look at the facts about sheep-the nature of sheep. Let's look at the facts about sheep- *Sheep aren’t intelligent . Sheep are not known to be smart or cunning animals when it comes to safety; rather, they are susceptible and tend to wander away from the pro...

At a certain age... I suppose 18 or so... half-birthdays are no longer as important to you as when you are young. Right now, the kids love having their 1/2 birthdays celebrated. We don't do much. We tell them "Happy half-birthday!"... and they are allowed to choose what we have for dinner (within reason... no super expensive choices .. like crab legs or sushi). And, they do get to have a cake. John-Michael is 8 1/2 today. I haven't had any of my children ask for a character-cake in quite some time...until last night. We were out very late watching the laser light show at Stone Mountain Park. A few hours before... John-Michael springs on me that he wants a Rayman Rabbids cake for his half-birthday. Now, I have church in the morning and knew I wouldn't get home before midnight last night... not much time to figure our how to make that kind of cake. So, like most things...I just went for it. I bought Twinkies ...pretty...
