"...To Till The Ground From Which He Was Taken"
An amazing piece of scripture here. It's so easy to read past, but we can't.
The two big questions of life are, "why are things the way they are?" And "how can they be put back right?" The diagnosis and the treatment. The world only wants the treatment, but we need to know the proper diagnosis, too. This scripture gives us the answer.

The Bills Missed Kick
I can't stop thinking about this guy. He gets paid $5 million a year, has one job, had the whole team and city on his shoulders, and missed it! How do you get out of bed the next day? How do we go on with life after massive disappointments?
