Nationwide Arena NHL Teams Surprising Streak

This year the NHL has had its’ share of teams with point streaks unlike we have seen in years past. The shortened season perhaps lends itself to teams not taking a night off and heeding the coach’s daily rallying cry “boys the next one is the biggest game of the season”. The Chicago Blackhawk’s season starting 24-game streak without a loss caused quite a... Read More

Super Bowl XLVII - Baltimore Ravens v San Francisco 49ers God Must Be A Ravens Fan

The Baltimore Ravens spirituality was on display for the entire nation to see predominantly through Ray Lewis with his evangelical minister like style of answering reporter’s questions on national television. Lest we forget the under garment purposefully displayed and embroidered with Psalm 91. Jim Nance held strong to the mic during the post game Lombardi Trophy presentation... Read More

Meaning of Life The Meaning Of Life

Did the above title perhaps peak your curiosity beyond the mundane heading? Good, I drew you in! You weren’t looking for an easy answer, were you? Searching for life’s meaning is a feverishly futile quest embarked upon by countless curious floaters who venture to set sail into the deep channels of enlightenment’s holy waters. Nine times out of ten, the very search for... Read More

Praying Is Sports My Religion?

Sports a quasi-religion. I first heard this term from a cleric who was driving home the point if men spent as much time consuming sports content as they did devoting time to God and family then perhaps some of the ills affecting our society like absentee fathers and withdrawn husbands leading to widespread divorce would lessen.Oh! and bird watching would be better. Bird... Read More

rosary beads Notions Of Devotion

I wasn’t sure the technician would let me keep the rosary that was firmly clasped between two idle hands while the MRI machine clicked, thudded and went about collecting data that would reveal how well the last three months in a body cast had panned out. If she didn’t ask me to hand it over, I surely wasn’t going to offer up my beaded armament; that which had given me... Read More

HOF Class of 2012 Hallowed Halls

Each summer thousands of football enthusiasts make the trek to the birthplace of football Canton, Ohio which is also home to the game’s Hall of Fame.  I wouldn’t consider myself diehard or one who is enthralled by the achievements of individuals nor looking at the busts of pigskin greatness for that matter. However, having watched past inductions on network television I... Read More

SAM_0177 Faith On The Fairways

I recently attended the Senior Player Championship held at the lush Fox Chapel Golf Club outside of Pittsburgh. One of the five majors on the Champion Tour. Some of the greats of the game and familiar faces of yesteryear graced the Seth Raynor designed course. Watson, Norman, Lehman, Couples, Calcavecchia and even “The King” himself Arnold Palmer showed up. Golf still has... Read More

2011 Boulder 70.3 run Faith To The Finish

Entering my 10th season racing as a professional triathlete I have learned to embrace suffering.  With a single Ironman event consisting of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run there is a certain amount of discomfort I know I will have to endure on race day.  It will show itself in several forms – physical, mental and spiritual.  Without a faith deeply rooted... Read More
