Christian Pros?

How many of y'all out there saw the Masters last Sunday? We were at Caracas at the time, and since my grandparents are super-duper Tiger fans, they taped most of the rounds. We even got to see it at a restaurant when we went out that Sunday afternoon. There was nowhere we could run from stiff guys in freshly ironed suits and just looking incessantly at a tiny little white ball and a ridiculously small hole. But anyway, Tiger didn't win, but a relatively new golfer(according to Granna, I sure wouldn't know) called Zach Johnson. After he won, he went into the clubhouse for an interview, that was televised by the way. I was really impressed when he was asked who he wanted to thank for his victory. He answered with a small list of friends and family, but to end his answer, he wanted to thank his "Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." Now, there really is no way to know if he IS a Christian,(Grandaddy noted that he coudn't have gone to church that day) and he could be saying it just to say it, but nonetheless is IS encouraging. At the Super Bowl in January, Tony Dungy,
the coach of the champion Colts, also mentioned his thanks to his Lord Jesus Christ for the victory, and mentioned that not only was that Super Bowl to have two African-American coaches competing, but also two Christians. Though professional sports have many temptations for a Christian, it is encouraging to know that not everybody out there is of the world. however, we must keep 1 John 2:15-17 in our minds constantly, "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."

Movie Night at the Sanders'

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. That is probably the best way to describe this blogging habit of mine. I always get on the Internet with a firm intention to FINALLY blog, but I always find something a bit more interesting. Does anyone out there know what I'm talking about? But if anyone wants to read what I'm really more interested in, check out www.knutcuyler.blogspot.com. Much more intriguing. HMMM.... last night we watched Spiderman 2

(again),all of us, except for Mom, who resumed her usual movietime nap. You can set a watch by her falling asleep, which is 3 minutes and 42 seconds after the TV is turned on(trust me, it never fails.) For those movie junkies out there(like me) who have seen it, there is a scene about a fifth of the way through the movie which is about the maniacal scientist hacking his way out of the hospital. It is not exactly gory, but not the best entertainment for Aaron and Sophie. The reason I am mentioning this is Mom Dad's reaction. Their eyes were as big as saucers, and Dad kept repeating in a rather dazed fashion, "I've never seen this, no, I'm SURE I haven't!" I was literally ROTFOLing!!! We went to bed way too late, the result being we got up(at least we kids did) around 8 in the morning. Nice and lazy. 'Til next time(who KNOWS when that will be), this is Old Glory, proud and brave.
