Romans 2 Week 1: Chapter 9

Well VCC and JBMI supports what a wonderful session God gave us in our Romans course last night. What was significant to me is what Holy Spirit showed us about His Word. God is more interested in being faithful to Himself then he is to us. But when He is faithful to Himself He is faithful to us simultaneously. When God is faithful to Himself we gain the benefit. What a revelation. For those of you in the class let’s talk about what God did. For those not in the class how does the above statement strike you? As I talked about in class last night, I am ready to keep the class going on this blog while we anticipate the upcoming class each week.

2009 NFL Conference Championships

For all my fellow sports and football fans out there its time to get into a dialogue from now until the Superbowl. Of course after the big game we will talk about it too, but first things first. In the AFC contest, I did expect the Colts to win but I thought they would dominate the entire game as opposed to solely the second half. Manning is the best “student” of the game I have ever seen. Are there other great quarterbacks, yes, but he is the smartest I have ever seen. He can take whatever the defense gives him and figure it out and then beat them at their own game. This is exactly what he did. One of the ways he does this, and did so yesterday, is he understood the defense would highly guard particular receivers so he would devise a game plan to go to the open receivers. He could truly spread the ball around. The receiver that needs to have a big game for the Colts to win is the receiver that has a big game. Moving to the NFC contest, it was much more balanced as the necessity for overtime displayed. It was back and forth, back and forth. I have a complaint about this game as I do all NFL overtime games. The “first score wins” approach of the NFL is not good for the game. I think a better alternative would be for the NFL to adopt the college rules of each team to get the ball once. The detail of whether the ball should be placed at the 25 yard line or should be made to travel the entire length of the field is up for debate. The first is very, very exciting but the second maybe fairer. Please debate this with me because I have not thought much about this one. Also, I want everybody’s pick & why so please give it to me. I like the Colts but I think it will be a close offensive shootout, with the Colts prevailing 35 to 31.

Bengals 2009 Playoffs

Good morning everybody. When I started this blog I told you that I would blog about ministry as well as personal things that either you would be interested in or I simply wanted to take note of. This is a taking note entry. What I wanted to take note of is that horrible Bengals game on 1/9. This season was only the second winning season in 19 years. It was only the second playoff appearance in that time period. The Jets ran the ball well and the Bengals did not stay as committed to the run as they should have. Chad Johnson was shut down and our place kicker missed two field goals (28, 36 yrds respectively). But I think Benson had 128 yards running. I think Carson Palmer is not convertible with being primarily a running team. If I was a faithful fan during many loosing seasons, you better believe I am going to enjoy being a fan when the team has a true ability to win. To all those supports of Jason Brothers Ministries International Inc. who are sports fans let talk about it. Until Next Time…
