Is Tressel being Thrown Under the Bus?


Ok, I’m just sick over Coach Tressel’s resignation. Has OSU thrown him under the bus? Is their “brand” worth more than their belief in an individual? Yes, he made a mistake, a big one, but we all make mistakes. It won’t justify his behavior, but I would love to know why he lied? Was it to protect his reputation and future or was it was to protect his players? Or was it something else? I know there is no “legitimate” reason, but there are reasons and I would love to hear them from him before I throw the first stone.

I also wish that OSU would be different than every other University and organization and work to restore him rather than throw him under the bus, even if he crawled under the bus himself, Galatians 6:1

 1 Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.

The End of the World


So, Saturday the 21st is the day the world comes to an end?!

To be honest I cannot wait for that day. The Bible even says that we should pray for it, Revelation 22:20.

But…

The Bible also says that not even Jesus the Son of God, doesn’t know the day nor hour that He will come. Jesus said that only the father knows the hour. Matthew 24:36.

But…

What troubles me is that there is coming a day in which the world as we know it will come to end but not everyone is ready. And even though I doubt that it will be this Saturday, it could be soon. The best warning we have is that the world will end when things are like they were in the days of Noah, Matthew 24:37. Well what was it like in the days of Noah? In the days of Noah people were going about life consumed with their own pleasure and paying no regard to God, Matthew 24:38. How is it today? In my estimation it seems more like the days of Noah than ever before.

So. . .

Saturday the 21st could be the day the world comes to an end but I doubt it. On the other hand I think it’s a good reminder to be watching and ready. Matthew 24:44

 44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
