A recent Oprah quote of the day from Paul Boese: "Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future."But just how does forgiveness enlarge the future?The answer is by redeeming the past.That is, what happened in the past proves to be the very makings of our future.There's a tendency for humans to view behavior that's less than our best as a mistake we must not just forgive and move on from but also feel remorse...more
The Oklahoma Sooners would like to forget about the 2009 season. Oklahoma was an emerging favorite to win it all, but after numerous key injuries they sputtered to an 8-5 record and weren't even ranked at the end of the season. Three of the first four football picks in the NFL Draft were Oklahoma Sooners players from last year, so they clearly have lost their talent base. Regardless, Oklahoma still has one of the most stacked teams...more
I'm going to say this up front - I am obsessed with Michigan. Proof: my newborn son was wearing a Michigan hat within minutes of his birth. It was the first thing he wore other than a diaper. And I wouldn't have had it any other way.That means two things: First, like all Michigan fans I shouldn't be left alone with anything sharp after the emotional toll of the last few years in both major sports. Second, I am, like any fan of any team, going to be more likely to be optimistic about the team than the average college football fan. That being said, I think that Michigan isn't getting quite enough credit in the media heading into this season. It has become popular to note that Rich Rodriguez is under intense pressure (he is), the team has some issues (it does), and is facing some unwanted attention from the NCAA (it is). The conclusion from that is most often that this team is likely to only barely become bowl eligible - if they even manage that. I disagree. I think that this team has the potential to win eight games and take a solid step forward and out of the nightmare of the last two years.If I'm right then there could be some college football picks value to be had on...more

There are some bright spots that should encourage you to look to the future even though the US economy is going through some tough time right now. The government hopes to encourage women to go to college through Obama scholarships for moms. The opportunity is available for all mothers to get a quality education that will benefit their families and future employers. Federal aid called Pell Grants make Obama scholarships possible. Because Obama and the government are putting emphasis on getting moms to go back to school, they've made some changes to these grants. Pell Grants worth more than $5,000 can now be awarded. That's more than $1,000 more than the previous maximum for these grants. In many cases single mothers would be low-income students, and that's who these grants are intended to help. The government is encouraging moms to go back to school to deal with this. Working mothers as well as stay-at-home moms can benefit from having money that helps them attend college. Also, there are other benefits to these grants to add incentive for mothers to enroll in college. It's typical of many students to go to large colleges and universities. Many single mothers have been...more
