Lose to win. Give to gain. Die to live. Are you an active member in God's economy? If not, talk to your men's group leader, your pastor, myself, or a trusted friend who has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ who can show you how you can have a personal relationship with Christ and start living the abundant life.
The other day I was in the mood for some genre-indifferent guitar music and the first artist that came to mind was Loren Claypool. Loren has been a long time friend and I have always loved his music as well as his passion for his work. If you have been looking for some different music to buy or looking for a nice Christmas gift for a loved one who loves music be sure to sample his work at www.lorenclaypool.com.
He also has some cool Clayphonic gear for sale on his website. See me sportin' my new black long sleeve Clayphonic Records t-shirt - www.bit.ly/3JXHtM as the newest member of the Clayphonic Street Team in Charleston. It is high quality and very comfortable and looks cool with shades. :-)

Our men's group is going through the 10 Passions of a Man's Soul by Mark Elfstrand and this week's chapter on the passion of self-preservation is the best to date. After reading the chapter I was able to add to my bucket list, recall a childhood memory where my untrained survival skills were managed by only by sheer terror, and study the question why did God build self-preservation into each of us. I will be sharing these stories along with thoughts and quotes from the book and our group meetings this week so stay tuned.

Our worship team at Bible Center Church sings The Redemption Song fairly often and it is such a blessing each time I hear it. I was in my chiropractor's office the other day and this song came on the radio and it has been on my mind ever since. I am sharing the link to Kari Jobe's video with various clips from The Passion of the Christ, Nativity Story, Gospel of John, and others as the backdrop to this extremely moving song. Also, I have included Gateway Worship's version of the song who is led by Kari Jobe. Phillips, Craig and Dean has a version out as well. All of them are worth getting on iTunes. Enjoy today's marked moment and expect a blessing.

First, let me say that I am a die hard Dallas Cowboy fan and can't stand the Philadelphia Eagles. Now with that said, there is a contradiction I would like to bring to NFL fans attention of how the NFL hands out fines to players. I want to breakdown two separate but related incidents that have happened in the first two weeks of the 2009 NFL season.
Week 1 - Philadelphia Eagle quarterback Donovan McNabb rolls to the right and dives in for the score against the Carolina Panthers and Eagle Nation is going crazy. But wait! He ends up getting hurt on the play and Eagle fans biggest fear has come true. McNabb suffered a broken rib when Damione Lewis falls on top him after the play was clearly over. McNabb misses Week 2 and still is a game time decision for Week 3. What's so shocking to me is that I have not heard one person from ESPN or the NFL question the hit on McNabb.
Week 2 - Dallas Cowboy offensive lineman Flozell Adams trips Justin Tuck of the New York Giants because he got beat on the play and clearly stuck out his leg to protect his quarterback Tony Romo from getting crushed near the end zone. As it turns out Justin Tuck comes up with an injured shoulder as a result and is questionable for Week 3. This is all we have heard about since Sunday night but nobody is talking about the hit on McNabb. What gives?
My point is this -- they fine Flozell Adams for tripping Justin Tuck but not fine Damione Lewis for falling on top of Donovan McNabb and fracturing his rib after he clearly was in the end zone. Now that was a cheap shot and I don't even like the Eagles.
See for yourselves. Here is the Eagles highlight of the play that resulted in McNabb getting hurt - http://bit.ly/ezkKL
I tried to find video of Adams tripping Tuck that resulted in the NFL fining Adams $12,500 but instead here is the article from FanHouse - http://bit.ly/Hbbzk
I thought that one of the main priorities of the NFL was to protect the quarterback? I don't get the logic. Flozell Adams gets fined for protecting his quarterback but Damione Lewis doesn't for putting out a Pro Bowl quarterback in Donovan McNabb. Come on NFL - be consistent! Not a positive marked moment for the NFL.

The day before yesterday on my way to the Bluefield Coal Show I was driving down Greenbrier Street and noticed an unusual amount of dead squirrels on the road. I asked myself wonder what in the world was going on.
Later that morning a buddy of mine called me and asked my why there was 83 dead squirrels on Greenbrier Street. At the time I had no idea what was going on. Then yesterday on my way downtown one little guy darted out in front of me and didn't make it. I tried to avoid him but there was nothing I could do. R.I.P. Mr. Squirrel. West Virginia has been known for its roadkill but nothing like this.
Watch the local news report by WSAZ at the following link http://bit.ly/4aaiSX and find out why the squirrels are creating dangerous situations for drivers on the streets of Charleston, WV.
