If you don't know that I love the Indians, Browns and Cavs, and no I am not talking about racial groups, then you have not met me. I love Cleveland Sports and I thought of something funny this morning. It is interesting that I could despise a person in Jamal Lewis so much while he was with the Ravens, the team that betrayed Cleveland Sports more than any other, and then like that man so much now. I found myself watching his interview on Sportscenter thinking how much I like this guy. Wierd. I guess that means if you are my friend and you start playing for any of the following teams: The Boston Red Sox, The New York Yankees, the Detroit Tigers, the Minnesota Twins, the Kansas City Royals (although I will probably have a severe amount of sympathy for you in the case of the royals), the Atlanta Braves, the Florida Marlins, the Cincinnati Bengals, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Baltimore Ravens, the Miami Heat, the Detroit Pistons, the Boston Celtics, the San Antonio Spurs, or any other teams that cross our path in the future, we will cease to be friends and become mortal enemies.
Also I think Randy Moss is a punk and I hope that Brandon McDonald has several chances to take care of him in the playoffs.
Lastly, I am not sure anyone should ever celebrate a one win season as much as the dolphins did yesterday. It looked like they just won a game to get into the playoffs. Not to mention(actually to mention) the fact that Jason Taylor said that he had been saying all along that they were going to win a game this season and they put him on Sportscenter saying it, so I say this because I am extremely bold. The Indians, Browns and Cavs will all win at least one game next season. Put me on Sportscenter, I'm a man, I'm 40!

I have this issue that is really bothering me and I tried to write about it, but I am just so unsettled by the thoughts and the actions of people that even as I write it out I don't feel like arguing any more. Really what is the point of taking a stance on something? Pride I imagine, is why for so long I have felt the need to stand. Well that isn't good I guess. I wish to speak with authority, not argue for the sake of winning, save the silly little arguments that I have to have for fun.

I have decided to try and post again, although since I have not posted in a year, I am sure that no one ever checks this save the miracle of rss I am sure that no one will ever read what I am writing, but perhaps I am fulfilling some hidden need to be the center of attention in some people's minds.

The video that I posted yesterday is from the service that I lead at Beavercreek Church of the Nazarene. There are more on youtube that I may post at some point. The audio is bad and you can hear Brandon talking in the background, but it was the best I could do, and since I have it I thought that I might as well put it out there.
The song that we ripped off is arranged by Lincoln Brewster, but it was written by Leonard Cohen. I think my favorite version is by Jeff Buckley. Lincoln Brewster redoes some of the words for the purpose of praise, but I spend a lot of time trying to figure out the original tone of the Cohen and Buckley versions. He speaks of David falling into temptation with the naked women bathing on the roof. Hmmm. I wonder who the genius was that decided to put baths indoors. Seems like I could have made some money on that. I like to think that I would be able to come up with that thought if I would have had the opportunity. Anyway... I can't figure out whether they are making fun of someone that can do what David did and then shout a Hallelujah to the Lord or whether they are celebrating the fact that although David royally screwed up he was still able to come before the Lord. I like to think that later, especially with the original line "its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah" I guess it could go either way. Perhaps they didn't understand the grace of God.

Another Hallelujah
