In honor of this week’s Super Bowl, where the New York Giants and New England Patriots will battle it out on the gridiron for the Lombardi Trophy, here are some quotes by the trophy’s namesake and legendary football coach, Vince Lombardi.

January 31, 2012Sunday Service – Souper Bowl of Caring
January 29, 2012It’s Super Bowl week! And, it’s Souper Bowl Week! In 1990, a seminary intern delivered this simple prayer: “Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us be mindful of those who are without a bowl of soup to eat.” Out of that prayer, Souper Bowl of Caring was born. The idea was [...]
Thank you Thursday
January 26, 2012As I write this, it’s Wednesday evening, and I’ve been sitting with my fingers poised over my laptop, talking to my husband and watching a recording of today’s Ellen Show. Until a few moments ago, I was stuck on what to write for this week’s TYT post. It has been a very trying few weeks. I’ve been [...]

January 17, 2012As I’m writing this, I’m also watching a show saluting Betty White on her 90th birthday. Lots of people she has worked with over the years are sharing happy memories. Words and phrases like integrity, sense of humor, hard worker, fun, great cast mate, generous, kind. She seems to have a wonderful reputation among her peers. Here’s [...]
Sunday Service – MLK Day of Service
January 15, 2012Tomorrow is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday honoring Dr. King’s life and legacy, and his impact on civil and human rights. Americans who do not have to report to work tomorrow are encouraged to view it as a day on instead of a day off - a day to serve to the local community. While doing some research for this [...]
Thank you Thursday
January 12, 2012I was ten years old when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. Old enough to remember, young enough to not quite understand all the implications. Over time, I have certainly come to appreciate Dr. King’s life, service, commitment, and passion for athe rights of all human beings. The MLK.gov website summarizes his message by [...]

January 10, 2012Have you tried Pinterest yet? Essentially, it’s an electronic bulletin board on which you can “pin” things you find online that “interest” you. You could set up a board to collect ideas for your wedding, how to decorate your new house, vacation destinations or fashion ideas. You can also peruse boards that other people have created and re-pin their [...]
