steelers recap (a bit late)

thursday seems a bit late for a reaction to sunday's steelers game against the cardinals, but, what can i say? i've finally got around to doing it.

the picture above was just my way of celebrating not only the steelers important road win over ~~pittsburgh west~~ arizona, but also the ravens monday night debacle which put the steelers into first place in the division.

antonio brown, the second year receiver, has been coming up big for the steelers this year, and is clearly a comfortable target for roethlisberger. it's really great to see his maturation, and it seems to me that his upside is amazing. this one-handed reach catch on sunday was spectacular.

i just loved this picture of troy, so i turned it into a poster.

i absolutely love this picture. it is from sunday's game in arizona, and in this particular view, i don't think you can see one cardinal fan. there is nothing - NOTHING - like steeler nation.

mike wallace. the golden stripe. that's not really his nickname, but i just made it up. he sort of looks like a gold blur, running down the sideline, so, yeah.

there's been lots of talk about woodley's huge contract in the offseason, and how he didn't seem to be living up to expectations early in the season. well, woodley stopped that talk quickly with some stellar defensive play in the last few games. he looks to be back in form as an intimidating force on the left side of the steelers defense, and opposing quarterbacks should be paying close attention. are you listening, tom brady?

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...
