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...
