Give Me More End-Zone Prayers


Lamb sacrifice in vain - Yahoo! News

Football players praying and pointing skyward in the end zone after a touch down has been sometimes cute but more often annoying. Giving God glory for a touch down - well - that’s another post. Amazingly, some soccer fans have gone way beyond end-zone prayers. The link above tells of a Bulgarian butcher sacrificing a lamb and putting its blood on the posts of the goal in hopes that his lame team could win a game. Oh - and it was on the eve of the Orthodox Good Friday. Please!
If end-zone prayers are what we need to have to avoid blood sacrifices, keep them coming!

Now, Now Bret, where is your sense of adventure :)

Are you done moving around for awhile? I am getting dizzy.

David - I’m done! Unless the church fires me - then I’ll have to move the site. How do you like the new place?

The new place looks good to me. Amost as good as the Cave.

I know you better getting ready for our big basketball showdown in June right? :)

Showdown - more like blow-out! You guys don’t stand a chance. (How safe it feels saying that 1800 miles away).
