Looking only at college stadiums, let’s kick back and learn! F Three of the oldest college football stadiums in the nation are in the northeast, where the oldest institutions of higher learning in this country exist. F The University of Pennsylvania’s Franklin Field is considered by the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) to be the oldest football stadium. Built in 1895, it originally cost $100,000. Rebuilt in 1922, it became the nation’s first two- tiered stadium. Franklin Field was the location of the nation’s first scoreboard in 1895, first football radio broadcast in 1922, and first telecast in 1939. F The horseshoe-shaped Harvard Stadium is claimed on Harvard’s website to be the nation’s oldest stadium. Built in 1903, recognized as a National Historic Landmark, the stadium was the world’s first “massive reinforced concrete structure.” F The first bowl-shaped stadium was the Yale Bowl, opened at Yale University in 1914. When it opened it was the largest stadium in the world since construction of the Roman Coliseum in 80 AD. It is one of four National Historic Landmarks on Yale’s campus. F Another historic stadium dating back to 1913 is Bobby Dodd Stadium at Georgia Tech’s Grant Field. It is the oldest continuously-used on-campus college football site in the FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision, formerly Division I-A). The game has been played at the downtown Atlanta site since 1905. The stadium was the site of the most lopsided game in football history.

Hurricane Season Started June 1! Be Prepared!

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you love being the focus of attention, it’s a good idea to take a few steps back right now to just watch the action. What you see can help with an upcoming decision.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) “Caution” continues to be your watchword this week, as a former colleague tries to reconnect old links. There are still some dark places that need to be illuminated.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Making a good first impression is important. Revealing your often hidden sense of humor can help you get through some of the more awkward situations.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Taking that Cancer Crab image too seriously? Lighten up. Instead of complaining about your problems, start resolving them. A friend would be happy to help.LEO (July 23 to August 22) A widening distance between you and that special person needs to be handled with honesty and sensitivity. Don’t let jealousy create an even greater gap between you two.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. Your handling of a delicate family matter rates kudos. But no resting on your laurels just yet. You still have to resolve that on-the-job problem.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might surprise everyone by being unusually impulsive this week. But even level-headed Libras need to do the unexpected now and then.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A period of turmoil gives way to a calmer, more settled environment. Use this quieter time to patch up neglected personal and/or professional relationships.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A new relationship could create resentment among family and friends who feel left out of your life. Show them you care by making more time for them.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Concentrate on completing all your unfinished tasks before deadline. You’ll then be able to use this freed-up time to research new career opportunities.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re right to try to help colleagues resolve their heated differences. But keep your objectivity and avoid showing any favoritism ‘twixt the two sides.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your personal life continues to show positive changes. Enjoy this happy turn of events, by all means. But be careful not to neglect your workplace obligations.BORN THIS WEEK: People of all ages look to you for advice and encouragement. You would make an excellent counselor.

Challenging The Way We Think and Live in the Coming Week

I’m reading through the book of Deuteronomy right now and it is absolutely rocking my world. The other morning I stopped on Deuteronomy 1:3 and had to ask myself two questions…#1 – Am I doing this as a Christian? Seriously…am I stepping up every single week and saying All that God is telling me to say? Am I truly being bold in the truth in love? Saying 95% of what God tells me to say it being 100% disobedient!Confession time, the simple truth is that many times I have held back because of fear of what people might say or think…and then there is also that fear that people may not respond the way I want them to. I admit this fear despite the promise of God in Isaiah 55:8-13!Personally, at this point in my life, I am trying to view every sermon I preach and say, “this could be the last time I ever preach His Word so I don’t need to hold back but rather I feel compelled to GO FOR IT, taking myself out of the picture, making myself less and making Jesus more speaking in confidence and completely trusting Him with all that needs to happen.”#2 – Am I doing this as a person? When I have a conversation with someone and I know that there may be an issue in their life that needs to be addressed the question I have to reflect on is do I hold back because I don’t want them to be mad at me, because I don’t want to offend them or do I address them in a loving and respectful manner and trust that God will take my words and deal with their heart in His time?I think one of the reasons the body of Christ is so dysfunctional is because we are so very willing to try to clean up the problems in the world, when many of them would actually disappear if we simply focused on cleaning up the problems we have among ourselves.How about you today? Are you putting your full faith, trust, confidence and 100% certainty in our King, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?Just maybe we should allow the real life example of Jesus to challenge the way we think and live in the coming week.
