Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, a movie about the abolition of slavery in Great Britain in the early 1800's. It also tells the story of how John Newton, the author of Amazing Grace, influenced William Wilberforce, an influential member of Parliament.
It's a great movie showing how every person, regardless of color and race is important to God and created equal.
So why isn't this socially significant movie getting more publicity? I guess 3 reasons.
1) Denzel Washington isn't in it
2) Spike Lee didn't direct it
3) It talks about Jesus Christ as the Savior
The slave trade is a very ugly part of the world's history, and it is still going on today.
You can read more about this by following this link.
And I urge you to go see this movie, and get the word out!
Happy Birthday Isaac


Isaac celebrated his 7th month birthday on Friday. He really wanted tickets to the Knicks game, but I could only get my hands on one ticket, so I went to NYC for Isaac. It was a close game, but they beat the Knicks on a bad foul call at the buzzer. I was cheering for Milwaukee to honor my hometown.
But the best thing about his birthday is the present from his Aunt Chuggy. He sure loves her a lot.

Sadie and Isaac


so Isaac finally noticed Sadie. We keep Sadie away from most of the house, mainly because of her disgusting hair that sheds all over. We want to be neat and clean people. We are trying anyway.
But the other day I gave Isaac some doggy time. He loves her now. He lunges at her now.

by the way, see how strong he is?

Top 5 QB of all time

Here is the list of top 5 QB of all time.
Dan Marino, Brett Favre, John Elway, Johnny Unitas, Joe Montana
Next 10
Dan Fouts, Terry Bradshaw, Troy Aikman, Steve Young, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Jim Kelly, Bart Starr, Otto Graham, Keith Kermicle.
Dan Fouts, Terry Bradshaw, Troy Aikman, Steve Young, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Jim Kelly, Bart Starr, Otto Graham, Keith Kermicle.
(not in any particular order, just a grouping)
Criteria: Cannot judge a QB on super bowl victories. Football is a team game, and the playoffs are a crapshoot. Anything can happen, bad weather, turnovers, injuries...and so on.
so my criteria is on total wins, TD passes, yards, and intangibles.
Marino and Favre are over 100 TD passes more than Elway, who is 3rd all time. Marino and Favre have more completions, yards, attempts than anyone else. Elway, Marino, and Favre are all neck and neck for most victories ever. Of course, Favre should pass them by next year.
We are also very aware of Mr. Manning's pace to shatter all of Favre's records. But we will allow time to pass by to see how he does.
This is a huge topic of conversation lately with the Super Bowl and the announcement of Favre's return. Reason for post is I was upset that "professional" announcers were shrugging off Favre as being in top 5 because of his interceptions. The stats tell it all. Favre, top 5 of all time.

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.
