Muffin and Cupcake

There is a great country restaurant in Trenton, GA called Randy's. They have a 48 oz. burger and a 24 oz burger that is a sin to eat but if you do they take a polaroid of you and hang it on their wall. Rayanne and I were there picking up food to go and saw this picture of these 2 biker dudes that ate the 48 oz burger. There names were Muffin and Cupcake. That's awesome!

Why I am for the Cardinals!

My friend, Dwayne, and I are always at odds when it comes to sports. He loves the dynasties and I love the underdogs. He hates the fact that a 9-7 team can be playing for a championship just because they got hot at the right time and I love the fact that a 9-7 team gets a shot at the title. He misses the dynasties and I'm glad to see them go. He loves the Cowboys, Yankees, Gators and I love anyone who can beat them. I like to see David vs Goliath but he wants to see Goliath vs Goliath. I think its because I am a 9-7 kind of guy. I have a winning record but its not a perfect one. I have some losses but they make you better and stronger. The great thing is that I'm still in the game. 9-7 is still a winning record and that's how I feel. I am a winner! I haven't quit. Don't count me out! I can still win the title! I think Pittsburgh is the better team but that doesn't guarantee victory. David beat Goliath because there was something different about him. It wasn't talent, size, strength-it was his heart. And all underdogs have the same heart. They believe! They believe they can beat the odds! They believe they can topple the giant! They believe they were made for this moment! I believe that the team who wins tonight will be the team who takes the other team's heart. Its hard to take the heart of a true underdog. They didn't quit after the 7th loss but got up again and got back in the game. That's why I'm for the Arizona Cardinals!

Updating the week

• I don't know why but our internet was down for a couple of days. It is back up today.
• I am sick today and I am rarely sick. Just a bad cold but enough to make you miserable. Didn't go to church this morning.
• I did the memorial service for Dennis Frieberg on Thursday. Dennis was a part of Axios and I had the privilege of being his Pastor for the last 6 years. He was a good man, led a hard life but in the last 10 years had surrendered his life to the Lord and it had changed him. His is a great story of redemption. He was a blessing to everyone who knew him. We will miss him.
• My brother-in-law, Michael Labato, lost his father, Roy, this week also. He was on the same floor as Dennis. Pray for Missie and Michael in this loss.
• Someone looked at the house on Tuesday. Didn't hear back from them.
• Bob and Monica are comong over tonight to watch the Super Bowl. Go Cardinals!
