Greg Jennings • WR - GB
Jennings apparantly had a knee injury early on in the pre-season. He was able to play against the Broncos last Friday with no apparant signs of any problems. I anticipate that he will remain solid throughout the season. He had 4 receptions with 42 yards receiving in his last game.

Tom Brady • QB - NE
Brady had a right foot injury before the pre-season opener causing him to miss all three pre-season games. This shouldn't really be a big concern as they more than likely kept him out of the pre-season to nurse his foot. Brady has said that he feels good and can't wait to start the season. This is good news!

Reggie Bush • RB - NO
Reggie had a recent injury last Sunday against the Bengals. During the first quarter of last Saturday's game, he suffered a contusion to his quadriceps. No news yet on if this is more than a day to day deal. Hopefully, he will be good to go when the season starts.

Ed Reed • DB - BAL
Reed's shoulder injury appears worst than originally thought. In his last game, it was apparant by his facial expressions that it was really bothering him. He's also been having trouble outstretching both arms. It's not certain that he will start the Sept. 7th opener. I may have to drop Reed if it looks like he will be out beyond the season opener.

Changing the Windows XP Start button to say something else, really wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. It took me at the most around 15 minutes to do it. I was going to put all the instructions here in my blog, but I decided against doing that. Instead, I'm posting the URL to an article that will do the same thing. Let me know if it works for you!

OLD VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MODERN VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.

CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.' Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, 'We shall overcome.' Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.

Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs, and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.

Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients. The ant loses the case.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2008

Most of us have heard the question at some point that if Eve (or Adam) had never sinned, would we, as humans, have ever sinned? Well, the quick answer is probably. If Satan couldn't get Adam or Eve to sin, then he probably would have worked on someone else until they sinned.

But what would happen if Satan never existed in the first place, or Lucifer had never sinned in the first place. What if Satan or his demons weren't in this world to tempt us. Would we still have sinned? Does it take an evil force to tempt? For some reason, I've been thinking about this a lot.

What really gets me wondering, is how is it that Satan could be filled with jealousy in a place that was so holy, in the presence of God. What was it that got to him? Was there a driving evil force that tempted him? Was there something that put those jealous thoughts in him?

So the question is where and when did it all start? Has "evil" always existed even before Satan? Was Satan a pawn of an evil force that lurked before he fell from heaven? Was there something already there?

Those who believe in God and understand that Satan is real, know that often times the battles we face are against some kind of spiritual force. Whether it be Satan or another evil force that has been lurking out there before Satan fell.

Maybe that's all too confusing to try to think about. But it's something I've been thinking about lately and just thought I'd throw it out there.

After setting up blogs for other people, I decided it was time to setup my own blog. I hope to be able to post here everyday, so check back often if you have nothing better to do! :)
