Football is a "tough guy" sport?

Yesterday, in the words of a non-Packer fan, the cult leader retired. Packer fans certainly do not lack fervor for their team or for their quarterback. Cheese-heads, green, gold and number 4 (Brett Favre) are self evidently Packer associated. But take a look at this video.

What happened to the old saying, "grown men don't cry?" I thought football was a mans sport? I know the saying there is no crying in baseball, but c'mon that should apply to football as well. You don't see soccer players crying after they retire, and they are referred to as pansies by football fans. What happened to the days where men don't cry in public? I guess those days are officially over, but I still say it is not right to weep in public.

What a great week for attending chapel...

As some know, this week is different in the chapel schedule here at CUW. Other weeks there are Scripture readings and messages that apply those Scriptures to the lives of students and faculty alike. This week, however, breaks this pattern of Homiletics. All week it is Lutheran Schools week and thus we hear reports about our great and wonderful Lutheran schools. Having grown up in Lutheran schools, I am accustomed to the weird events and lack of productivity that occurs in Lutheran schools this week, and these messages about Lutheran schools are much like the ones I have heard during Lutheran schools week for years. There are four more days of Lutheran schools week left and that means four more messages from four more education professors.

Someone in a southern direction is sure missing out on his or her favorite week in the chapel schedule.

Happy Lutheran Schools Week!
