Welcome back into the fertile melon… as usual no apologies for my opinions or my spelling…done with my first week of training in Williamsburg prior to deploying to middle east for the third time…I’m the LPO of my training team…good experience for me… chief is riding me hard and picking nits but it should make me a better leader in the end…small small minute glimmers that the country is starting to see that we can’t afford the One’s policies and health care will be a bank breaker…of coarse if you 52% who voted for the One had listened prior to the election we might not be having this discussion right now on the brink of bankruptcy…might not be stuck with government motors and all the scary stuff that portends for our future… david letterman has been a bitter old jerk for years so it wasn’t surprising what he said about Palin and daughter…how lame after the fact to say he meant to trash the 18 year old not the 14 year old…I would have considered taking his invitation to do the hate fest he calls a show if only to kick him in his (fill in your favorite body part here), one for every one of Sarah’s lovely kids…what a punk…which election was more legit, Iran or Minnesota senate, just asking…went through the gas chamber as part of training this week…note to self, don’t go riots if it’s possible I can get gassed…my Wings couldn’t get the job done in the Stanley cup finals…don’t think Nicky or Pavil were at full strength…no excuses though, we were up 3 games to 2 with game 7 on our ice…the Pens just out played them in games 6 and 7…watch out for my Red Sox…played 6 games this week against teams that were in first place when the week started…swept the evil empire and 2 out of 3 against the defending champs…the Phils smocked by boys today… ending the week 2 games in front of the evil one’s…really miss my wife and girls…gonna miss Dana’s birthday this week and for the second year in a row miss my anniversary…that will be a rough day for J and me…it will be our 15th…you pay a heavy price to serve your country…so does your family…later Peeps and Peepettes…may our glorious and loving God bless you and keep you…

Passing the Torch!


 

            This post will seem like it's about football but it's more about life and a celebration of God.  The Colts coach Tony Dungy retired this week as one of the most successful head coaches in NFL history.  He is the all time leader in wins for 2 teams (Bucs and Colts) and he's done it with class and grace that will be hard to reach let alone surpass.  His Colts team won him his first and only super bowl 2 years ago (29-17 over the Bears).  In that game much was made of the first match up of 2 black head coaches, guaranteeing one would be the first black head coach to win a super bowl.  When Tony was asked about this after the game he said he was more impressed with their faith in God than their racial make up.  What a statement.  This accomplishment, combined with the election of Obama might finally get us to the point where we no longer have to notice, or care about the race of people.  Tony will go on to more important things in life, sharing his love and faith in Jesus to help better everyone's life he comes in contact with.  Didn't someone pretty famous once say "the content of one's character is more important than the color of one's skin".  Tony Dungy is the living embodiment of this statement.  Someone in the NFL will have to pick up the torch as Tony passes it on.  
            One possible candidate for this position is Florida quarterback Tim Tebow.  He is a 2 time National Champion and a Heisman Trophy winner (he's probably the favorite to win it again next year).  I know I know he is staying in college for one more year but mark my words he will be drafted as a QUARTERBACK (despite what the so called experts think) in the 2010 draft.  Tim is the son of missionaries.  He spends his summers on missions in the Philippians with his parents.  He's getting quite famous for his biblical passages in his eye black (the dark rectangle patch worn just below the eyes to cut down on glare).  Here are the 2 he wears most often:

Philippians 4:13   

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

John 3:16           

 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

There are plenty of people in today’s sports and entertainment fields who profess their love and thanks to God every time they win something, or find themselves in front of a camera.  I'm instructed not to judge what's in ones heart, but this young man seems to walk and talk the talk, and I find that incredibly impressive in today's lowest common denominator society.  While I dream of my Buckeyes beating Tim's Gators in next years national championship game, I wish him nothing but success in his pro football career to come and more importantly in picking up the torch that Tony Dungy is passing on to all those willing and capable to pick it up.
