Gonna Be a Long One

So it is going to be a long week. Hopefully come next week this time I will be able to give a sigh of relief to be done with it all.

Thankfully I only have one test this week. Monday is my usual long day, finishing up around 3 and then getting a couple hours of sleep till I got to do it all again. Except I have my teacher ed. interview. I'm not really worried about the interview, I just hope that my feelings toward this *retarded* process doesn't shine through. Tuesday I have a field trip that doesn't get me back to Shawnee till after 3, which means another long day and little sleep. Then Wed. doesn't get much better. The usual long day, plus fitting in a make-up test from the day before. Then I have to be back at school around 8:30 for closed rush interviews (Zeta Stuff). Finally come Thursday (I hope) I will have my usual 2 classes in the a.m. and then I'll get to get some sleep. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

So be praying for me, cause I will.

Food For Thought

A university professor at a well known institution of higher learning challenged his students with this question, "Did God create everything that exists?"

A student bravely replied, "Yes he did!"

"God created everything?" The Professor asked.

"Yes sir, he certainly did," the student replied.

The professor answered, "If God created everything; then God created evil. And, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then we can assume God is evil."

The student became quiet and did not respond to the professor's hypothetical definition. The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.

Another student then raised his hand and said, "May I ask you a question, professor?"

"Of course," replied the professor.

The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"

"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?"

The other students snickered at the young man's question. The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460 F) is the total absence of heat; and all matter becomes inert and incapable of reacion at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat."

The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?"

The professor responded, "Of course it does."

The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact, we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't that correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."

Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?"

Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course, as I have already said. We see it everyday. It is the daily examples of man's inhumanity to man. It is the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil."

To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat, or the darkness that comes when there is no light."

The professor sat down.

The young man's name...... Albert Einstein.

The Bus!!!!!!!!


You wanted it, and you got it. I am one of those wild and crazy fans. If you know me you know I am a Dallas Cowboys fan. But I am one of the few, and ostracized ones, that like the the Steelers too. I know it seems sacrilegious after all those super bowls in the 70's and all. But to be honest its not really a rivalry, I don't believe it ever really was. So there is the run down, I like the Steelers. Now on to why they will win the XL Super Bowl.

The Bus - Getting him here has been their goal all year. Might as well carry them on to the promised land. With Willie Parker giving them they speed. Bettis changes it up with his bruising style.

Big Ben - He's just a kid and he is amazing. His learning curve has been amazing. He has made the most of it all. Got to remember last year he had played over a year straight. He finally ran out of gas or I believe they would have won it all last year. The kid is good. Think about this - has he officially passed Payton Manning as one of the best QB's out there. Payton hasn't been to an AFC title game, Ben has played in 2 and won 1. Payton hasn't been to a Super Bowl. Ben is about to win one.

Stephen "The Weak" Alexander - I have always believed and still do that Alexander is the one of the weakest backs in the NFL. This is the first year that he has been "willing" to get short yardage or goal line conversions. And the concussion against Washington. Whatever, if they would have lost that game his team would have every right to hang him by his toes. He comes out the next week and runs all over the place. What concussion? Steelers D will expose him as a weakness.

Troy Polamalu - Is pure stud. I love Roy Williams, not just because he came out of OU, but he is a hitter. Polamalu is too. Not only is he a hitter he is a "Johnny on the Spot." He is all over the field. Found out today he sprained he ankle in practice. But I don't think that will matter. Its the Super Bowl Baby!!!!!

Steeler D - They bring the heat and they don't care if you know. Did you watch the Indy game. They got in Mannings head. They ain't scared.

So that's my opinion and I'm Sticking to it. I'm not one for predicting scores, so I won't. Steelers All The Way.
