The Wild World of Sports

So Brett is back again!! I of course am very excited even though he will be donning purple threads instead of green. Thats alright, I'd rather see him a Viking than not see him playing at all. Also, Michael Vick is back in the mix as an Eagle. I am really indifferent on this decision, but I did find something that I thought was really amazing out of this story.

Donovan McNabb, who has a squeaky clean image in the NFL stuck out his neck for Vick. Vick is a guy that is widely regarded as nothing but trouble. I thought to myself why in the world would Vick ruin his good name for a guy like that. Then it dawned on me that is exactly what Jesus did for me on a much much larger scale! It's hard to picture myself as the Vick of the story, but that's exactly what I am. Just like McNabb, Jesus didnt have to stick out his neck but he did. Because of that reason I have the chance to get to somewhere that is much greater than the Super Bowl....I get the chance to live in Heaven. So even though I very much dislike the Eagles, this year my hat's off to Mr. McNabb, hopefully Vick will prove you didnt stick your neck out for no reason.

My mind is so weird. I am thoroughly convinced that only I could figure out a way to pull out a biblical application from the craziness that is this NFL season. I think about football way too much.

Where Have I Been?

So sorry it has been a while since I last posted. Thing in the Bryan home have definitely picked up. Thought I would share some highlights of the last few months. Kaitlyn continues to get bigger everyday. She is truly a Godsend and we are so thrilled to be her parents. Thought I would share just a few of the many faces of Ms. Kaitlyn:







As you can see Ms. Kaitlyn has a lot of personality! Also this last month I had a business trip in Pennsylvania. I elected to stay in Baltimore, since it was a short drive there and I really wanted to visit there. Since I was that close I also took a trip to New York. I didnt get to stay half as long as I would have wanted, but I did get a chance to catch a game at Yankee Stadium and got to see The Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge. Here are a few pics:


The Man. Too bad Jeter doesn't play for the Sox




Lady Liberty


Me livin it up at Yankee Stadium (next trip: FENWAY)


I was able to take in a lot of beautiful sights in a short amount of time, but as Phil Vassar would The view I loved the most: my front porch looking in!
