NFL and the church
NFL PARTY RULES
For groups that want to host Super Bowl parties -- other than sports bars and businesses that normally show televised sports -- here are rules the NFL says must be followed:
• No admission fees (even to pay for snacks).
• Only one television (55 inches or smaller).
• No use of the words "Super Bowl" in promotional materials.
• No exhibition of the game in connection with events "that promote a message."

The problem I have is the last one. The NFL doesn't want anyone to promote a message. What in the world is the message that the NFL is selling? Beer? Sex? Greed? Look at the advertisements on Sunday. That is the message the NFL is sending to the American public.
So we are using the "BIG GAME" on Sunday as an opportunity for a get together where teens can invite their friends. At halftime, we have a video of football players sharing their faith. But the NFL says we can't do that. Instead, we have to watch Prince, and have his message shoved down our throats. I don't think so mr NFL. You can't make us watch Prince and his sexual messages to us. So we will show our video on a 44 inch screen, not charge any money, and we aren't using the words "SUPER BOWL" in promotional materials. But the message? Sorry NFL, we are attacking your SEX MONEY BEER message with a message of hope, love, grace in Jesus Christ.

Isaac's friends from church
Isaac is the official mascot of Preakness Bible. He has a lot of friends in the church. Here is a few. Just wait, in a few years the girls will be gross. But now, he loves them all.
Music is so important
We want Isaac to be well rounded. Part of his training and upbringing will be on making a joyful noise unto the Lord.
