now that the series is over

i can get back to my life. i love the stros, but i can't get over the fact that ensberg just seems to chase the same pitches over and over again. how many times did he strike out with at least 2 runners on base that would have won 3 games? "chasing sliders" is his new indian name. it's ok though mo. i'm still a fan. just be patient and make them pitch to you.

so now i'm on to "uprising" by my new favorite pastor erwin. here's what he has to say about attitude.

when a person has an attitude problem, what he or she really has is an arrogance problem. A bad attitude is evidence of a lack of humility. Attitude is an accurate monitor of where we fall on the spectrum of pride and humility. This is why two people can step into the same experience and respond to it so differently. It's why sometimes we need an attitude adjustment. Humility is the chiropractic remedey when our necks are stiff and incapable of bending....The quest for honor is not where we pursue humility for greatness, but where we pursue the greatness of humility. The goal is not to know if you're humble, but to live as a servant, to give your life away for the good of others regardless of personal benifit or consequence. Would you be willing to give your life tos save the world if no one ever knew your name? If anonymity was the price you would have to pay for significance, would it be too great a price? To live a life of courage is not a guarantee of prestige or adulation, but there is freedom in humility. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or what others say. It only matters if you live and die fulfilling the mission you were born for.....Obscurity has never stopped God from accomplishing great things. Our poverty has never been His limitation, our position not important for His advantage. Our reputation seems nothing more than incidental. Only our pride can leave us empty, and only when we empty ourselves can we begin the journey. This is the quest for honor. McManus

hope you have a great day. jetter have fun going to U2 tonight. see you at switchfoot. i would say go texans, but that would be dumb of me so i'll say let's go rockets.
