    Football Quotes, and Jokes...

    Hello Folks..

    With football season once again on the horizon, I thought you might enjoy a few quotes from some famous college coaches... Football is such a great sport... The build up to the season beginning, as well as the weekly conversation about the game played the week before, and the one coming... There are also some aspects to sports where vital lessons are learned in life... One giving their all, cooperation among teammates, as well as overcoming adversity, and never giving up, or quitting no matter what the odds... Learning to win, and lose graciously, while also striving to improve all the time... Being complacent has never benefited anyone, and can lead to a false sense of security... These things can be applied not only within our fleshly existence, but even more importantly within the spiritual aspect of our lives... All that we are always begins from within, and that of course is the spirit in all who have been created in God's image...

    These principles can certainly be applied when one is seeking to live a life that is pleasing to our Creator, and Sustainer... We owe HIM our all, yet can never really give God anything... For all is HIS anyway... Thankfully our Wonderful God is one who is defined by love, as HE has shown throughout the existence... There is much we can learn from HIM if willing to seek that which only HE alone can do through those who submit to HIS sovereign will... For God Almighty is from eternity, and there is NO OTHER like HIM... So should we actually boast, or take credit for that which HE gave us to begin with as it concerns the good characteristics, or talents GOD has instilled in us as individuals?...

    May we show our utmost appreciation for all HE has done, is doing, and will continue to do as history unfolds in accordance to what God has foretold to occur long ago.... Prepare for that which is to come while growing in the grace, and knowledge of our Savior, and God... Enjoy life within the parameters that God has set in order for us to have life, and have it abundantly as we focus upon the Spiritual aspect of that which we have been blessed with...

    Here are the quotes... God bless to all, and peace be with you...

    Hey Folks..

    I wanted to share a song with all of you music lovers... This song was written by the lead singer dedicated to his deceased mother... Based on her wanting to experience certain things that she shared with him throughout the coarse of her life, as well as what she already had, and enjoyed... It is one of those songs that has the perfect combination of various instruments, and a singer that has been blessed with a great voice...

    One part of his lyrics declares "that heaven is overrated," expressing him wanting her back in his life... As we all do with those who we have lost... Death in the flesh is a foregone conclusion at some point for all who were born in it... But there is life beyond this temporary dwelling place that our spirits inhabit at this point in time... That of course is the Son of God WHO is the WAY, TRUTH, and LIFE...

    One day the opportunity to fly across this vast universe that our Creator declared to exist, and does, will be experienced by those who place their faith in the very ONE who gave us life... The ONE TRUE GOD who wants us to experience life everlasting as HE has always been, and always will be...

    God bless, and take care...
