Psalm 118:8,9
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It. is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God govern's all things and knows all that is or can be done. "Sir Isaac Newton"
2Th.3:10 For even when we were with you, that if any would not work neither should he eat.
I'm the dude playin the dude, disguised as another dude. Robert Downey Jr.-Tropic Thunder.
All I want the Bears to do in 2009 is eat lightning and crap thunder, Is that really to much to ask?
If Big Govt. can give the people everything it needs or wants then it is big enough to take it all away.-Thomas Jefferson

It's a wimpy version of football where pads aren't required due to the "special tackles" they use to minimize injury.

In the UK a lot of Rugby players view American Football players as soft because they play with the pads on.
