"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."

A fifty-nine year old man is returning to Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas to play football one more time.
Michael Flynt, who last played college ball in 1970, is currently attending training camp at Sul Ross University in Alpine, Texas, along with about 100 other players -- most of whom are younger than Flint's own three children, the Nashville Tennessean reported Tuesday.
Flynt, who was dismissed as starting linebacker for the school's team in 1970 after a series of altercations, will find out later this week if he made this year's team's final cut.
I heard some guys on sports talk radio discussing this today. They invited callers who had similarly ageless exploits. One such caller was in his fifties and still works out heavily. He recited a list of his current weight lifting benchmarks, including leg pressing 400 lbs., bench pressing 300 lbs., and more.
That led to this exchange among the two radio guys:
Guy 1: Wow. I'm feeling emasculated just listening to this.
Guy 2: I'm not. It's making me feel like a little girl.
Guy 1: Um, that's pretty much what "emasculated" means.
(awkward silence)
Did they go to a commercial with the song "We don't need no education"?
