finish the deal

its game day, and i know it is hard to name this post 'finish the deal' when its only week two, but i'm not talking about finishing the season (i'm under no delusions about the steelers. they beat the texans in game 1. there are alot of games to go). however, after the beating that ohio state took from usc last night, i'm hoping that the steelers can finish the deal and leave the whole state of ohio with an erie feeling of being completely dominated (i know i spelled erie wrong, people. c'mon, give me some credit).

the steelers need to go out to cleveland and make a statement about the force that they intend to be in the afc this year, especially with the recent problems in san diego and new england. also, with the touch schedule the steelers have, divisional games are pretty much must-wins. so we need to beat the cleveland clowns tonight. go stillers!!!

ps. i know i misspelled steelers. its a pittsburgh thing. if you don't know, now you know.

GO STILLERS! CRUSH THE CLOWNS!

However, I do not stand in a united front with you about THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY'S beating last night. I had a very unhappy husband.

Greetings from Erie PA. I don't think Pittsburgh came in and quite made the statement you were looking for. I don't think a 10-6 victory was what you were looking for. Although it was a victory, I think their is a big difference between the NFC and AFC this year.

oh yes. it was a perfect ending, dan. i wasn't looking for any statement whatsoever. just a 'w.' and that's what we got. i knew that the browns got better over the off season, and i know that they have been the trendy pick to win the division, and so i wasn't looking to go into cleveland and win big or easy. just win. and that's what we did. the game was dictated, at least in part, by the elements, and the steelers managed it well. it really came down to some poor decision making by the browns coaches, and the inability to run the ball. listen, would i love the steelers to win 45-0 every week? you bet! yoi! but that isn't going to happen, so i will take wins however they come, especially over division rivals.

and christina, tell your unhappy husband that college football is not a level playing field, and while the corn nuts (buckeyes?) are good, they are not in the same league as the SEC and other teams like USC. sorry.

i'm giving away the swamp

so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh.  one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.'  when you do so, some of the following gems show up.  thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up.  otherwise, it would certianly make this list!  please laugh freely and without inhibition.  thank you and have a nice day.

affirmed

i cannot express today the feeling i have. this picture that i found sort of expresses it but not really. for the last ten years i have poured myself into this vocation, daring to believe that God, the very God of all creation, has called me, even me, to this work. along the way many have affirmed me in this journey, but i have continued to work for the ultimate affirmation, ordination as an elder in the united methodist church. and now i have it. after two grueling (and i mean grueling in every possible sense, really) days i recieved the call today that the board voted to recommend me to the annual conference for ordination as an elder. and as i have already said, i cannot even begin to express the emotion i feel with words like relief, joy and satisfaction. there will be plenty of time for me to reflect on this and i will have more to say about it as i do that reflecting, but today is really a day for celebrating for me, and for thanking those who have journeyed with me and s...
