Reformation21

My recording of the game (I watched it with some friends after Sunday evening service) ended with 25 seconds left to go in the game, so I missed the final play and the post-game stuff. C.J. Mahaney stuck around, though, and offers some important insights and applications.

Justin T brought this article to my attention (funny how I missed it -- Fox News being, after the Comedy Channel, my favourite source of credible news stories): http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,328088,00.html I believe that a similar proportion of Ref21 readers think Derek Thomas is a real...
