A Bear's fan in Peyton Manning country

It is not easy being a Bear's fan living in Indianapolis; especially when the COLTS are 9-0. Peyton Manning (PM) is almost worshiped here (a very popular baby boy's name in this state i might add). I am not a Manning (family) fan but i can not deny that in the regular season he is the best QB in the game (notice i said "in the regular season"). Tom Brady is obv. the best QB in the playoffs and I hope Rex Grossman may add his name in this list in the near future.

I am happy Lovie Smith did not make a Democrat decision in regards to Rex Grossman. Many non-fans wanted Lovie to bench Rex simply because he has had 2 really bad games (among 7 good games). I reference the Democrat's only because that is what many people in there party are saying we should do in Iraq, (cut and run because we have had some big set backs along the way). Now again, i decided not to enter into a full blown debate as to 1. Whether the current war in Iraq was/is a good idea, can be justified, etc; 2. What the Bible has to say about war (is there such a thing a just war?); etc.

All that to say, Lovie Smith is my COACH OF THE YEAR. He has made some great overall decisions this season which has contributed to the Bear's 9-0 start (8-1 start, i forgot we actually lost to Miami).

Loyalty is a wonderful trait so if the Lord should move you to another state don't abandon your favorite team(s).

PS. Monday is my new "off" day which gives me time to post silly things like this from time to time.

Not many people are interested in my more serious theological blogs anyways. :)

Tacosik-

The Colts seem to be play down to the bad teams this year (Houston, Buffalo, etc) but always find a way to win. What gives?

How can they destroy Denver and N England on the road and almost lose to the Bills (w.o there starting running back no less)?

I can find no Biblical warrent for double predestination. I find tons of verses that say God elects some for salvation (but none that use the same language regarding eternal damnation).

That in my estimation is HYPER-Calvinism (which is not biblical Calvinism).
