Ben Rothlisberger was amazing yesterday. The Steelers played as a team, stayed relaxed and finished strong. I was so excited that they won. Well I wasn't surprised that they beat the Broncos at all. They beat the Colts by a field goal and I’m still shocked that the Punter missed that field goal. Jerome "the Bus" Bettis is going home for the Super Bowl. I guess that’s where he grew up and Big Ben promised that he was going home.
On Saturday I went to The Afters concert…The Secrecy was good, The Evan Anthem was alright, but The Afters were AMAZING!!! I was debating if it was worth buying their CD, but I did buy it and had them sign it……that’s all I listen to in my car, lol…sad I guess….but it’s a really, really good CD…..heres a song that I like…..
All That I Am-The Afters
I feel a burning, deep inside of me
I feel Your Spirit, It’s moving around me
I hear Your voice, You’re calling me closer
I know You’re here, You’re calling me closer
and I will
Love You with all of my heart
Jesus I’ll love You with all of my mind
Jesus I’ll love You with all of my soul
Jesus I’ll love You with all that I am
I know that You hear me when I say my prayers
I know that You’re with me even when I’m all alone
When I close my eyes, You’re calling me closer
When I pull away, You’re pulling me closer
and I will
Chorus
You are holy, Lord God Almighty
You are holy, Lord God Almighty
Who Was and Is and soon will come again
Lord you are and now You’re coming again
Just like you said, You’re coming again
and I will
Chorus

After the game was over, I took a nap for a few hours since i wasn't feeling well....
so heres more from the book that I’m reading.......the chapters titled A Broken Philosophy
-But isn't there something comforting about having a consistent moral boundary?
-Moral relativism can't give you hope or peace or answers for life.
-When people decide there are no more moral boundaries, that there's no right and wrong, they often conclude that everything is meaningless and they might as well do......whatever.
-There is no standard of right and wrong-except for when you violate what we say is right.
-Moral relativism just flat doesn't work.
-If moral relativism doesn't work, why are there so many moral relativists? ---I really like that question a lot...
-Moral relativists are a lot like those climbers.(they told a story about rock climbers, I’m not going to type it all) They know in their hearts that their life philosophy doesn't work, but they divert themselves with drugs or music or nonstop activity.
-Their whole lives are spent trying to avoid what they subconsciously already know-that their lives are meaningless and empty. Yet they keep putting their carabiners in the loose bolts, hoping they don't fall.
-I'm convinced that the reason people buy into moral relativism is that they're getting something out of it, something they don't want to give up. Maybe it's the chemical rush of drugs or alcohol. Maybe it's the thrill of breaking the rules. Maybe it's the short-lived fun of commitment-free sex.
-Why, if they're not suicidal, would they intentionally kill themselves? Because they're getting something out of it.
-Moral relativism is the same philosophy that Satan used to deceive Adam and Eve. He's still using it today.
-Moral relativism is also cool because it lets you be kinda-sorta everything.
-What’s the downside of moral relativism? It’s an empty existence. It’s fun when things are going well, but what does it offer when you’re down? Who are you going to lean on when life starts falling apart?
-Of course, the Christian life is a harder path.
-“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matt. 7:13-14
-The other road is much wider and you’ll have tons of friends there. It’s easier to go that way because everybody else is doing it.
-He is the only one who will never leave you, no matter what you’ve done or where you go. He is your heart’s true home.
-You just can’t be a moral relativist and a Christian at the same time. That’s like being dead and alive at the same time.
