OSU Run

Time:  634 left in 2nd quarter

OSU was at their own 10 yd line.  MICH almost was able to score a saftey.  The qb threw the ball, it was caught, MICH missed a tackle.  What a good play.  ARG…MICH isn't playing so hot.  But, they are still going to win.

MICH/OSU Update

Well, the MICH quarterback just ran the wrong way and lost a ton of yards.  Then, at the end of the next play, 2 players were ready to go at it.  I say…go for it.  Whose going to get hurt?  Everyone is wearing pads and helmets.  Think hockey on grass.

Wait…10:14 to go.  15 yd penalty on OSU for roughing the center.

Apple Pie

I just thought I would post how I make my apple pie (I've made 2 in the past week):

2 premade pie crusts
4 cans apples  (not apple pie filling….apples.  If you can't find normal apples, I have success buying cans of fried apples)
2 tbsp – 1/4 cup white sugar
2 tbsp – 1/4 cup white flour
1 tsp – 1 tbsp cinnamon

Mix flour, sugar,and cinnamon together in a bowl
Take the 1st pie crust and put it into a pie pan.
Poke holes in the bottom with a fork.
Sprinkle on some of the sugar, flour, and cinnamon mix.
Drain 1 can apples.
Put into pie crust
sprinke on some more sugar, flour, cinnamon mix
Drain 1 can apples.
Put into pie crust
sprinke on some more sugar, flour, cinnamon mix
Drain 1 can apples.
Put into pie crust
sprinke on some more sugar, flour, cinnamon mix
Drain 1 can apples.
Put into pie crust
sprinke on some more sugar, flour, cinnamon mix
If you have some of the sugar mix left over, it isn't a big deal.
Cut a design in the other pie crust.  You just need some holes to let the steam escape.
Put onto the pie
Cut off the extra crust
pinch the edges together with a fork
Bake in a 350-375 degree oven for 45 min (or until done).

If you want to do something with the left over crust, here is something good:

Roll it out
Spread on butter
Sprinkle with brown sugar
Roll up like a roll-up
Bake with the pie

“The Game”

Sorry I'm late on this.  I thought the OSU/Michigan game was on ESPN.  Turns out it was on ABC.  I missed most of the 1st quarter.

Currently, the score is:

MICH 7
OSU 0
Time 6:13 left in 1st quarter.

I want to go on the books saying I think Michigan will win.  If OSU fans weren't so nuts, I'd root for OSU.  But since Columbus all of Ohio is so nuts about the Buckeyes, I'll go against the grain.

Ive got to Vent

On the way home today, I was listening to Fox News.  They were playing this news conference by the Democrats in Washington.  They were going on and on about how this election shows America wants a new direction.  They were going on and on about how they were going to be bi-partisan.  On and On.  I got so ticked off.

Let's rewing 2 years.  The Republicans had a larger margin of win than the dems do now.  The dems were going on and on about how this didn't mean anything….how they expected to work with the Republicans…etc….  The republicans even threw out some ideas like sharing of comittee chairs, etc….  Now the libs win with way less margin and it's a major point!!!

Come on!

The republicans lost because they refused to act like they won.  They didn't act like conservitaves who knew they were on the right path.  Instead they caved to the liberals and didn't do anything.  They squandered an opportunity and deserved to lose.

In the meantime, I hope the libs don't resort to lies.  But I'm not optimistic.

IMB/International Missions Stats

At the last IMB Trustee Meeting, the following new information was reported:

— engaged a total of 1,170 people groups worldwide, three-quarters of whom are classified by mission researchers as unreached (less than 2 percent of the population claiming evangelical Christian faith).

— engaged for the first time 104 people groups, 73 of whom are unreached, with a combined population of nearly 100 million.

— engaged 120 unreached urban centers, including 12 for the first time.

— started 23,486 churches and more than 10,600 "outreach groups" (potential future churches). That brought total partner churches worldwide to 135,252, with a combined membership of 8.8 million, and outreach groups to 55,723.

— baptized 475,072 new believers – about 1,300 each day or one each minute.

— involved nearly 510,000 new believers in discipleship training, in addition to more than 1.1 million existing church members in discipleship groups. Those are "solid indicators showing the excitement and hunger for the Word of God," Holste said. "As people are introduced to the Bible and come to know Christ, they are baptized and nearly all are discipled in their first year of Christian growth. For the first time in our reporting history, the number of church members in discipleship training has risen above the 1 million mark."

— trained more than 150,000 Christian leaders in nonresidential settings (extension and correspondence course, short-term courses, on-the-job training) and more than 20,000 in residential pastoral programs.

— worked with 1,772 international missionaries sent out by overseas Baptist partners to other people groups and 3,400 home missionaries reaching out to people groups within their own countries.
