The Other Red Team

Most of you know that all our immediate family members are UGA alums.  Our blood runs red and black - not scarlet and grey like all of those that support Ohio State University.  I have to say that my disdain for OSU on the football field is tempered by a healthy respect for their football accomplishments.  They are currently 2-0 and ranked number one in the country.  And my opinion of their team just jumped several notches after seeing this news story about a revival that the team is leading on their campus.  Over a thousand students gathered to worship Jesus and some were baptized on the spot.  The gathering was supported by several current OSU football players, including linebacker, Sonny Styles.  I will be cheering for them on the field (when they aren't playing UGA) and praying for their continued influence on their campus.  Praise God.

Pouring Over The Stories

 Most of us have our go-to news outlets for local, regional, and world news.  The habit of going to one source for news may be because of the producers, the personalities, or it may be because that particular outlet says things the way we want to hear them.  Regrettably, most reporting by these supposedly objective outlets are known to be either conservative or liberal, and they don't really try to hide that.  If you are happy with your news outlet, no need to read further.   But if you are somewhat frustrated with the spin, I found another alternative.  The Pour Over is a subscriber-based news email which reports the same events you see in the other outlets as unbiased as possible.  Better than that, they follow each story with an "eternal perspective" and a bible verse to help give the story a deeper meaning.  Signing up is free at this link if you are interested in giving it a try.  The posts are also available online if you prefer not to receive additional emails.  Click here for recent posts.
