'For thou art with me;....'

........except when it comes to my views on abortion! And that, my friends pretty much sums up the position of the Roman Catholic church in this matter. This morning, the Providence Journal reported on their website that Representative Patrick Kennedy has been barred from receiving communion by Bishop Thomas Tobin because of his views on abortion. What ever happened to the church, and by the church I mean ANY church, being there for everyone who are children of God? They serve communion to incarcerated murderers, rapists, embezzlers, and just about every criminal out there, but God forbid an individual have different views about issues! And then there is the separation of church and state; remember that one Bishop......or did you really flunk history? The Roman Catholic church should stop trying to be something that they cannot be......perfect!

4th and 2

Was it arrogance or confidence; you be the judge. For what it's worth, here's my thoughts. I have come to the conclusion that Belichick did not want the ball back in Peyton Manning's hands after he had gone the distance of the field on his previous possession and scored a touchdown, all in less than two minutes. By picking up the two yards, the Patriots win the game. I'm quite certain that he along with everyone else felt that Tom Brady was more than capable of picking up two yards. The problem is they failed, and the inevitable happened, giving Indy the win. In conclusion, I personally would have punted the ball to at least put the Colts back on the other end of the field. Oh, by the way, any other coach in the league would probably have been dismissed on Monday morning if they had made that call!!!

Number 27

They won their first World Series title when the old Yankee Stadium opened, and not to be outdone, this year's team matched the feat. Congratulations to the New York Yankees on winning their 27th World Series. After game 1, I actually felt that the defending World Series Champion Philadelphia Phillies could win it all, but it was not to be.
