Well, at least the Colts didn’t look so bad this week. We set no more new records for losses, so that’s a plus. We started out once again with a fumble to start the game, but at least we recovered it. Then we started this habit of a holding penalty on every punt return, followed by a false start. Both were half the distance to the goal penalties. We started with 1st and 15, 1st and 18, then 1st and 22. And it continued. We just looked bad. It also did not help that we had yet another offensive tackle injured, so we had our fifth offensive line
And with all that, it was 20-0 at halftime. And despite that being too big of a hole to dig out off, but thankfully we kicked a field goal. Then ran in a TD. It was nice to see the offense score. Our defense looked better, until they got tired after the second Painter pick (the first was not his fault, but a deflection and an amazing defensive play). But once again, he had trouble keeping plays alive, either by over or under-throwing his receivers, commonly one-hopping balls. Even without Addai, the running game was our only offensive strength. In fact, Painter had 4 runs, averaging nearly 20 yards (maybe he should run instead of throwing).
We also had problems on Special Teams. I already mentioned the penalties. I was also yelling at them to stop running the ball out of the endzone. Take a freaking touchback. At least that gives us a chance to start out on the 20 instead of inside the 10. Because of that, we also had trouble barely avoiding safeties. The Titans first TD of a game came from a blocked punt. Being backed up makes it easier for them to get to the kicker. It was the first blocked punt of Pat MacAfee’s career. Can’t blame him, just the field position and the blockers.
Again, we had a few unfair penalties that kept the game out of reach. Specifically, we got called for a helmet-to-helmet, when it hit a guy’s shoulder, and worse, they did a helmet-to-helmet, and the ref picked it up (the ref also kept getting confused on which team did what. I didn’t like him).
Good news is that toward the end of the third, they came out slinging and actually looked like there was something to build on. I’m still hoping to win one this season. If we can avoid the stupid penalties and put together an offensive drive onto the other side of the field, maybe even find the endzone, and we might actually win a game.
Rest of the League:
Steelers-Pats. The Steelers looked good. More importantly, they got a safety at the end of the game. Because Tom Brady is a chump.
Rams-Saints. So the Rams were without their QB, but finally had their RB healthy, and he performed. The Saints, however, were apparently so exhausted from scoring more than 60 points the week before, they simply could not put together any offense. Brees was sacked 6 times, and their defense allowed 31 points to give the Rams their first win of the season. That’s right. First win against a team who the week before set a new record for most points scored.
Ravens-Cards. The Ravens decided to let Arizona run up the score just to make their win look better.
Giants-Fins. Miami also almost got their first win against an actual good team, but Eli did his thing, representing the Manning name well again.
Lions-Broncos. The Lions are this year’s dream team (and you thought it was Philly, you silly head). Tim Tebow, well, he’s not the Messiah. He’s still a rookie. They were ready to crown him in his first start, now their ready to crucify him (perhaps a more accurate Messiah reference). Give the kid a chance. Stop reacting and see how things play out.
Bills-Skins. One of the talking heads on TV said it well. “Playing in Toronto, the Redskins couldn’t get their offense through customs.”

An interesting read.
Please read this. And share this. You simply have no idea...

That was a long one
I wanted to write about last week. I put in 70+ hours organizing a charitable event. We cleared out a church building last week, and let people bring in donations. This wasn't money. This was stuff. Lots and lots of stuff.
We all have lots of stuff, more than we need. The shame is, many people have less than they need. A lot less. So we collected stuff, as if we were having a yard sale. We sorted stuff. We asked others to donate stuff. Many people even gave up things that they still used, knowing others needed things worse than they did. And yes, we did have people bring in stuff that was stained or broken, but we had others who sorted through and removed items that were too poor of quality for those in need.
Then, after a week of sorting and collecting, we had a fleet of vehicles and an army of volunteers arrive. We loaded up four large trailers, plus every truck, SUV, van or any other vehicle we could find (my station wagon was filled so full that I could not see out the back window, and I had to create space to see out of the passenger side exterior mirror).
Once we arrived Friday night, we set everything up in an hour and a half, due to our army of volunteers actually growing in size.
Why did we do it where we did? We did it in a community center with a gymnasium. It is larger than the church building that we used, and moreover, it is located in the "bad" part of town. The facility was actually the local Boys and Girls Club. But I'll come back to this more in a minute.
Saturday morning, we got there an hour before we opened the doors for our "Free Community Yard Sale." Already the line encompassed the parking lot. The ladies in the front had arrive hours before that. When we did open the doors, we had instructions in both English and Spanish. "We will provide you with one bag" (they were white, kitchen-sized trash bags). "Please fill that, and take anything else you can carry, remembering to leave some for others who need things as well. Also, please return at noon and take more." We had 580+ of the poorest of our community take advantage of this.
How did we know we were helping the right people? The Sunday before, we had another army of volunteers walk the streets of the "bad" end of town, and tape flyers (English on one side, Espanol on the other) to the houses there. We also got a local elementary pass them out to their poorest students (the schools always have the best grasp on this) and of course the local Boys and Girls Club. This targetted measure (as opposed to a newspaper add) meant we got the people there that we wanted to be there. And we took it to them, since many were not able to come to us (we actually had many volunteers help people carry things to bus stops or even to their front porches, since most were too poor to afford transportation. Had we not taken the stuff to them, we would have missed those who needed most).
The bottom line is this is about social justice and unconditional love. Instead of throwing money into programs that don't work, we gave people what they needed. We had stories of people who got clothes for job interviews, coats for their kids, or Christmas presents for grandkids. These are things people couldn't afford on their own. We even helped the local BGC, since we were in their facility. We donated snacks that they sold to raise money, and were recruiting people to send their kids there. We did not make the mistake of doing what many churches do, make them come to us and sit through a half hour explanation of the Bible that no one listens to. Why is this a mistake? It says to them "We only care about converting you. We don't care about you." That's not what those that do such things think, but that is what they hear. In contrast, we wore bright orange shirts, with a our church name and motto (Love God. Love One Another. Love the World) on the front, and "Because God cares, we care" on the back. It let them talk to us, and showed them unconditional love. We don't love them on the condition that they become one of us. We love them period. Interestingly, this gives them the opportunity to become one of us without feeling pressured to. It is counterintuitive, but it works.
The important thing is now, what can you do to meet a concrete need in your community? This may not work were you are, but something will. Find it.

NFL 11 Week 7 synopsis
I worked 70+ hours this past week, so the only thing somewhat like football that I watched was the Colts-Saints game this week. Or should I say the Saints-Madden game.
Have you ever played the Madden football games? A good stress reliever is to put it on the easiest difficulty and destroy another team. (My record is 216 points. Ironically, it was against the Saints). That's kinda what this game looked like. You know its bad when a team pulls their starters and still runs up the score. You know its worse when the losing team pulls their starters because the game is that bad.
The game started with Curtis Painter underthrowing an open Pierre Garcon. That was the best play he made all night. Two plays later, when the ball was snapped, it hit Painter in facemask because he wasn't ready, and bounced over to the Saints. Shortly after that, the Colts lost 62-7, the worst loss in franchise history, and the worst for any team since the NFL-AFL merger.
If you go on twitter, there's all these comments about how Peyton Manning doesn't play defense, or that he should win the MVP award because how bad the Colts are without him. Yes, he is one of the best in history, but we've also lost our second string QB, a wide reciever, left tackle (very important position. Just watch the movie "The Blind Side"), and Addai has been hurt much of the season. Plus half our defensive starters are hurt, mostly in the secondary (the guys responsible for stopping the pass). And our defense just looks tired because we can't keep drives going for the other team. And another thing: most people don't realize that offense if intellectual and defense is emotional. And our defense is just tapped out.
Speculation is running wild that Jim Irsay will do something crazy like trade Manning (really? Are you dumb?) or fire Jim Caldwell. Emotional decisions are always the wrong ones. Don't do it Jim.
And yes, I sent tweets to both the Colts page and Jim Irsay. They are encouraging by design. Why? Because until some other fans (Philly comes to mind) we don't hate and abuse our team. We love them, no matter what. And if this gives us a chance to throw off nine years of fair weather fans and prove our loyalty, so be it.
Oh, and just so others don't miss out on tradition, Tom Brady is a chump. There, I said it. Want proof? When the Pats blew out a team like this, they kept in their starters. At least the Saints let their second string score on the Colts. (sigh...)

NFL 11 week 5 synopsis
Again? Really? Once again, we had a chance to come back, when we got cheated by another uncalled blatant pass interference call. Seriously! We are losing enough as is! We don't need help!
Losing enough? Yeah, Painter to Garcon has been effective a few times, but Dallas Clarke dropped three easy catches. Now check out this one last year, where he broke John Mackey's record (John Mackey is maybe the best TE to ever play the game).
This week? He dropped them. I don't know if his mind wasn't on the game or if he has an injured hand or if he just quit or what his excuse is, but this was pathetic. Hardly any balls were thrown at Reggie Wayne at all, and in the second half, Painter couldn't hit a target to save his life. I'm thinking his arm just doesn't have the endurance to play 4 quarters of football. Our running game started out strong, but the Addai got hurt and the rookie just isn't that productive. Our D also started out strong, forcing four or five 3-and-outs in a row. But in the second half with the offense getting a succession of 3-and-outs, our defense just got too tired and stopped tackling. Plus, I think their backs hurt from trying to carry the rest of the team.
Some respect to Matt Cassel. You remember him, don't you? He's the one that when Tom "We suck" Brady went down, proved that Tom sucked, because he did just as well. Because Brady isn't as good as he thinks he is, he just has good people around him. Manning recognizes that, but Brady? Full of himself. Because he sucks as a person.
Rest of the League:
Raiders-Texans. Respect to the Raiders for going out just after the passing of NFL legendary owner Al Davis and playing on for him. Davis's motto? "Just win baby." They did.
Bengals-Jags. Thank you Bengals for keeping the Colts in the hunt for not last in the division, if we can find a way to win.
Seahawks-Giants. Let's just say Eli did not represent the Manning name well and leave it at that.
Vikings-Cards. Holy Cow the Vikings on a game! How? They finally took the ball away from McNabb and let Adriene Peterson run the football. Hmm... Imagine that. They let a guy with a rep as best RB in the NFL run, and they won. They should do that more often.
Bills-Eagles. And the destruction of the dog fighter's dream team continues.
Niners-Buccs*. (*I hesitate to even list the Buccs, since they didn't show up) Woah! Where did the Niners pic up an offense this year? Are they allowed to do that? I think that's cheating. San Fran never scores like that. Well, not since Jerry Rice.
Saints-Panthers. The Panthers are much better this year, they just aren't closing out. They're the new haert-breakers since the Browns are doing better, I guess.
Chargers-Broncos. No one cares who won. All anyone cares about it Tim Tebow played, and played well.
Pats-Jets. Tom "we suck" Brady is a chump, and the Jets continue to underperform.
Packers-Falcons. The Pack took a while to get going, but once they did, they rolled.
Everyone be sure to (if you can) watch Bears vs. Lions tonight. I predict a good one.

NFL 11 Week 4 Monday night special
I'd like to dedicate this post to Eric Foster. He got hurt bad, when a foot got trapped when another Colt's player fell on it. You know an injury is bad when a big man like that starts crying, and while the play is still going on down field, players on both teams are waving the medical people for the Colts on.
This moment gave clarity, as players on both teams where shown praying for him. They player that fell on him was crying, as were many others. Despite his great pain, as they carted Foster away, he was cheering on his boys. You could read his lips saying "Let's go! Let's go!" He kept beating his chest, reminding his guys to play with heart. He also showed respect the Buccs players. It was a great show of sportsmanship for both teams.
Backett and Bullitt, the Colts defensive team Captains were both put on IR this week, which is tough when we already have THE offensive Captain out. Fortunately, Pat Angerer has stepped up a leader in both motivation and example.
On offense, Reggie Wayne has been largely quieted without the one and only Peyton Manning, but last night he gets credited with a TD, though not on the stats. When Garcon was running for his life, wayne threw himself into the air in such a way that he blocked not just one, but two men. It looked painful, but Reggie comes to win, no matter what he has to do, even if he doesn't get the glory.
Lastly, praise for Curtis Painter for not sucking too badly. We appreciate that this is the first time he hasn't thrown a pick-6 (mostly because of a lack of time of possession and the Buccs players just missed some easy catches). Otherwise, this game would not have been close, except that the Buccs got a penatly seemingly every down.

Woah.
I preached at my church this weekend. I do this a few times a year, but this time I had no idea what to preach on. It was just rough for me. Eventually I preached on Luke 9:57-62. This is a tough teaching from Jesus, and I just struggled. When you teach on a passage like this, most people just tune you out. I just didn't feel this one. That happens as a preacher sometimes.
Funny thing about preaching, some sermons you think "This is good..." and people don't get a word of it. Sometimes, you think "well I laid an egg" and that one just hits some people particularly hard. This one fit the latter category.
Some people were really hit hard. We had something happen that rarely happens. A lady who came to church for the first time came forward to be baptized. Mostly, when someone comes forward, they had a conversation with us at some point before. We know they are coming. Occassionally someone comes forward as a surprise, but never have I had someone come forward that was there for the first time.
That shows me one thing. Even after all this time, I still have no clue when the Holy Spirit will chose to move. God will do what He will despite of my best efforts. Just a simple reminder to me: it's not about me. God is the one who is in control.

NFL 11 Week 4 synopsis
Lions-Cowboys. Dang it! Once again, I turned away from the game, because I thought that the Lions were too far down. Luckily for them, Tony Romo, who dominated the first half came out and forgot who he played for. He threw as many TDs for Detroit as Stafford did. Look it up. In the mean time, Calvin Johnson (who for some reason is now nicknamed Megatron) put it to Big D’s D in the second half, just as that same D put it to Detroit the first half. But, I think I need to stop turning off Lions’ games.
Niners-Eagles. Seriously, you bench David Acres? What is the matter with you? The Dream Team is a disaster. Of course, their fans are ready to murder them. If you don’t know about the NFL, Philly Fans hate their own team more than anyone else. I would never play there (yeah, like that’s going to happen). But seriously, I have nothing but disrespect for fans of Philly. They are nasty people. I’m just saying.
Giants-Cards. Wow. Eli looked good. Way to represent the Mannings there, baby bro.
Packers-Broncos. The Packers look like the defending world champs (6 TDs for Aaron Rogers, if I am correct). The Broncos look like they miss John Elway.
Bengals-Bills. Looks like the Bills were too cocky after last week. They overlooked the Bengals. The Bengals did not overlook them.
Pats-Raiders. The Raiders may have been a little cocky after last week. The Pats were out for blood after how bad they (or at least Tom “we suck” Brady) did last week. Today was the Wes Welker show.
Texans-Steelers and Texans. Ok, this was crazy. The Texans nearly beat themselves. They nearly broke the record for penalty yards, and had 14 points taken away on stupid penalties. The Steelers… looked more like the Porcelains.
Bears-Panthers. This game would not be mentioned, except for Devon Hester now broke the record for all-time career returns. Respect the man. Kick it out of bounds.
