    What do you think?  Me personally, I will be pulling for Cheddar Dallas and the Vols, Texas or the NC State underdog Wolfpack.  Regardless, and my wife will be mad, but I will try to watch every game.

  2. Football forum does it the day after the season ends - why not baseball?  The following teams ended up in the final season polls:

    5A - #1 - Barbers Hill

            #17 - PN-G

    4A - #9 - Orangefield

            #18 - HJ

            #23 - Livingston

    3A - #11 - Woodville

            #22 - Buna

    2A - #15 - Evadale, 

    Private / Home-School - 

    #2 Good Samaritan Hornets.

     

        So who has the hosses returning to carry them to Austin/ Round Rock next year? I know Woodville and Buna were relatively young and return a great nucleus.  Evadale returns a great group but lost some really good seniors.  Anyone not on the radar that should be?  There is always a team that surprises and has a great run.  I think of the Bobcats of Orangefield as a team that got hot and surprised a few people.  Silsbee has a great core group returning and they were very young this year.  The work for a state championship starts now boys - get busy.  As a parent it is the best trip you can take, I know I miss it.

    My Canadian Liberal wife stopped reading that propaganda paper after being a subscriber for 5 years. Need I say more about your link ?

    That’s just the one link I clicked on from Google; not an ardent reader on that site.

    My postings may be erratic.  I sometimes try to think of something profound, but can’t.  Then a couple come along, like today.  Was reading an old post I kept on S. Print of a Bible quote from 2nd Timothy Ch 4 vs 3 & 4.  I’m using the St Joseph, but it’s virtually the same in King James.  

    I became Catholic about 50 years ago.  Once had a Catholic Priest preach, “The main thing is to be a good Christian.  If there’s something in Catholicism that’s a barrier to you being a good Christian, you might consider becoming a Baptist or Methodist (some old parishioners dropped their teeth, lol).  Personally, I thought it the most Christian thing I’d ever heard anyone say.  At that time, “new” non-denominational Churches were almost unheard of.  Now they’re everywhere.  I’m sure some may be fine, but I wonder about others, which brings me back to this Bible quote:

    3- The time is sure to come when people will not accept sound teaching, but their ears will be itching for anything new and they will collect themselves a whole series of teachers according to their own taste.

    4- And then they will shut their ears to the truth and will turn to myths.

    Point is, if for whatever reason your Church is blocking you from being a good Christian, be careful you don’t pick a Church that leads you astray.

    Amen!!!!!

  5. To each his own.  I think you want me to debate you and become open to the ways of the world.  I’m not sure which characteristics you say I lack, but I am okay with who I am.  I sin daily, am convicted and do what I can to be the best Christian I can be.  I serve a risen Savior and wish you nothing but the best.  I believe the topic was Critical Race Theory, and I do not agree with it.  Hopefully that gets things back on track.

    Bad idea... I had a brother in law that was home-schooled and I wouldn't let the kids sit in his lap.  Dude was an emotional cripple.  

    You can go all of the way back to ancient Greece when people really started to "think." There was an open exchange of ideas and higher learning was achieved.  You have the exact opposite today... Far left ideologies are crammed down school kids' throats and anybody has a differing point of view is silenced.  It gets worse at the college level.  By the same token, if you take a kid and stick him in a church school or home school him, he'll end up with an ultra-orthodox view of everything and have no concept of how the rest of the world thinks.  It's just as dumb in reverse. 

    Your opinion.  We home-schooled our three boys and all three are contributing members of society.  I appreciate your perspective but I strongly disagree.  The right to educate our children in the way we see fit is our right.  There is nothing wrong with a Christ-based education.

  7. I would be curious to know how many of our youngsters know what happened on this date.  The greatest generation earned their title and paid dearly for the right to be free.  I doubt we have too many (if any) who served during that time on our message board, but I bet we all know or have someone in our family who served.  Thank-you for the sacrifices that were made that day and all of our WWII vets.  God bless America!!!!

  8. He got to play there too, and in my opinion - NOTHING beats Blue Bell Park.  It just has that old times baseball vibe with all the amenities you could ask for.  TCU is kind of in a bowl and is hot, Texas is right by the highway as is U of H, Texas Tech is really nice as is Baylor and Rice.
