I was reading my bible this morning, Matthew chapter 8 & 9. One verse confused me, or made me question: Jesus asked people to follow him, and one woman said let me first bury my father, Jesus turned to her and said, "Let the dead bury the dead." It seems to be a bit confusing. She want to follow him, but also be respectful of her father, by properly giving him a burial. It has to have a deeper meaning, but what is it? I did look it up and found this response: It's used in the Bible (see quotes) and means that you make 'a clear and total break with the spiritually dead—that is, with the spiritually “dead” world you’re leaving behind. '
Moving on:
It is the first full football Sunday. Eagles play the Packers today in Philadelphia. Kevin Kolb starts today as the new Eagles QB. It is the first time in 11 seasons another person is starting at qb for the Eagles. while I initially questioned the move, I am excited about what Kolb can bring to the team. It may not be this year, but with all of the young players the Eagles have on their team, it could be next year.
I love the fact that the Phillies are in another pennant race. They wake up today tied with Atlanta for first place. Both teams have an 82-60 record. So the last 20 games will be interesting.
Time to clip the coupons and plan the shopping list.
