I know at least one fellow who’s still wondering.
As for the rest of us, we know: Something green just left a battered and bloodied something red in its wake.
That was simply a thing of beauty. Our boys showed up in a feisty and foul mood, and that made for some fantastic football!
For some sweet whining and finger-pointing, go HERE.
The Raptors lost to the Spurs on Sunday. No big surprise from a young team. But a blip on Sportsnet.ca made me laugh afterwards…
Notes: The Raptors and Spurs have the most international players of any team in the league with six apiece. Said Barry: “I was the only one out there with one vowel in my last name, which is kind of fun and exciting. When (Jorge) Garbajosa was at the free throw line I was trying to spell his name in my head without looking at the back of his jersey and I just couldn’t do it.
Brent Barry: Imagine a guy who can shoot threes and be funny!
I’m not kidding. If our preacher decides that Sunday is the day to go long…
I will fire him myself.
Sunday’s not St. Patrick’s day, but let it be known that anyone who is anyone is going to be wearing green. If you don’t, it won’t be some weak little pinch that you receive; you can be sure of that!
LET’S GO BOYS!
I came across this though I’m not entirely sure who said it or where. I just know it wasn’t me.
“One can acquire everything in solitude except character.”
Well, whattya think of that?
I read this just now. It’s from Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s book called “Life Together”. He’s talking about how important the Word of God is to any form of Christian community. Placing emphasis upon our need to move beyond ourselves, he challenges us to enter into the complete story of God’s.
An example…
“It is not in our life that God’s help and presence must still be proved, but rather God’s presence and help have been demonstrated for us in the life of Jesus Christ. It is in fact more important for us to know what God did to Israel, to His Son Jesus Christ, than to seek what God intends for us today. The fact that Jesus Christ died is more important than the fact that I shall die, and the fact that Jesus Christ rose from the dead is the sole ground of my hope that I, too, shall be raised on the Last Day. Our salvation is ‘external to ourselves’. I find no salvation in my life history, but only in the history of Jesus Christ. Only he who allows himself to be found in Jesus Christ, in his incarnation, his cross, and his resurrection, is with God and God with him.”
Am I the only one shocked by the bold part? Doesn’t Dietrich realize that it is about me here and now? Is he actually suggesting otherwise?
Yes, I believe he is.
