Do you Believe In Miracles - The Book Of Proverbs

Tinker:

The miracle of our birth is a big time miracle to us because after all that was the moment that we started living in this world at this time. I really appreciate the opportunity to be alive experiencing the enjoyment of all the beauty in this world. And of course the great delight of getting to know the people we love, and who loves us.


This life in this world at this time has always felt like heaven to me at the moment that I have lived it. The colors, sounds, sight, and touch of what we live around. The other people in my life have become apart of my feelings to how I feel about this world and everyone in it.

All of us are condition to a great extent by the time and place that we are born to, If I was a product of the stone age generation I would not be able to wright on this computer that I am using now.

But that does not mean that I am all that different then the stone age person from thousands of years ago ether. We are who we are to a great extent because of the generation that we are tied to at the time of our birth. A chain link in the long chain of mankind, link by link that this ling in the chain at this time is me.


I think that I felt like this world was heaven because of my mother sincerely holding me close to her after that first moments of my birth, and again when my father held me close to him, I simply felt the human love from both of them after entering into this world. Because of my parents devotion to raise me I received a fighting chance to become myself. And I regard becoming myself to be one of my greatest accomplishment. So that is in fact was a great way to start out living my life. No one else hated me then or dislike me then because of my politics, looks, or person.

All the harsh aspects of humanity and life come along oh so slowly at first after birth, that the process of learning that our world is not the heaven that I thought it was, is and has always been the reality of our life to this day.

Of course 2013 or any other year is not the heaven that goes on forever and the people around us past and present are hardly angels.

King Solomon son of David and Bathsheba, king of Israel is attributed to writing the Holy Bible book of proverbs, so the long history of mankind has been struggling with heaven and hell, good and bad, right and wrong long before I was born.

Imagine that! Perhaps although know one really knows for sure, that King Solomon son of Bathsheba, fathered by King David, wrote the Holy Bible.
The terrible lack of knowledge in me and the people in our world at this time is what bothers me the most, if only we would open up our minds and heart to love knowledge more, just how much more we could gain from our life today at this time.

So now our world today, the good and bad;

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Solomon (Hebrew: שְׁלֹמֹה, Modern Shlomo Tiberian Šəlōmō ISO 259-3 Šlomo; Arabic: سليمانSulaymān, also colloquially: Silimān; Greek: Σολομών Solomōn), also called Jedidiah (Hebrew יְדִידְיָהּ), was, according to the Book of Kings, the Book of Chronicles, Hidden Words and the Qur'an[1] a king of Israel and the son of David.[2] The conventional dates of Solomon's reign are circa 970 to 931 BC. He is described as the third king of the United Monarchy, and the final king before the northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah split. Following the split, his patrilineal descendants ruled over Judah alone.
According to the Talmud, Solomon is one of the 48 prophets.[3] In the Qur'an, he is considered a major prophet, and Muslims generally refer to him by the Arabic variant Sulayman, son of David.
The Hebrew Bible credits Solomon as the builder of the First Temple in Jerusalem[2] and portrays him as great in wisdom, wealth, and power, but ultimately as a king whose sin, including idolatry and turning away from Yahweh, leads to the kingdom's being torn in two during the reign of his son Rehoboam.[4] Solomon is the subject of many other later references and legends, most notably in the 1st-century apocryphal work known as the Testament of Solomon. In later years, Solomon also came to be known as a magician and an exorcist, with numerous amulets and medallion seals dating from the Hellenistic period invoking his name.[5]

THE BOOK OF PROVERBS
  • This Book is so called, because it consists of wise and weighty sentences: regulating the morals of men: and directing them to wisdom and virtue. And these sentences are also called PARABLES, because great truths are often couched in them under certain figures and similitudes.
Proverbs Chapter 1
The use and end of the proverbs. An exhortation to flee the company of the wicked: and to hearken to the voice of wisdom.1:1. The parables of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel,
1:2. To know wisdom, and instruction:
1:3. To understand the words of prudence: and to receive the instruction of doctrine, justice, and judgment, and equity:
1:4. To give subtilty to little ones, to the young man knowledge and understanding.
1:5. A wise man shall hear, and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth shall possess governments.
1:6. He shall understand a parable and the interpretation, the words of the wise, and their mysterious sayings.
1:7. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
1:8. My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
1:9. That grace may be added to thy head, and a chain of gold to thy neck.
1:10. My son, if sinners shall entice thee, consent not to them.

Tommy Hodson will never be forgotten


June 22, 2013   -   © 2013 Tiger Rag

Soon-to-be Louisiana Sports Hall of Famer threw earth-shaking touchdown vs. Auburn



By MARTY MULE
Tiger Rag Featured Columnist


Bill Arnsparger never forgot. In the University of Florida press box, where he was now the Gators’ athletics director, Arnsparger watched another game on a mounted TV.

He saw his old LSU quarterback of the previous season, Tommy Hodson, playing at Georgia, take a vicious cheap shot five yards out of bounds, temporarily forcing him to the bench.
“Don’t worry about him,” Arnsparger, architect of some of the best defenses in NFL history, commented to those standing around the television screen. “That’s the toughest kid I’ve ever been around.”

Hodson did return to the game, in time to throw the winning touchdown pass in a 26-23 Tigers’ victory.

The point is, Hodson was a hard player to forget. One could assert that any Tigers all-star team should include Hodson on its starting unit. When he left LSU, no one, not Y.A. Tittle, not Bert Jones, had ever quarterbacked the Bayou Bengals to more victories (31), thrown as many completions (674), thrown as many touchdown passes (69), or even passed for as many yards (9,115) as anyone in the history of the SEC.

The offensive focal point of two SEC championship teams in the late 1980s, Hodson clearly was one unforgettable Tiger.

Future generations will be able to note his accomplishments after his induction into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in Natchitoches on June 29, along with a star-studded class that includes other former Tigers as Shaquille O’Neal and lineman Kevin Mawae. And on top of every list of Hodson ’sexploits will be his role as the firing pin in one of LSU’s handful of most stirring victories, one that even has acquired a title: “The Night the Tigers Shook the Earth,” which is how it will forevermore be remembered.
*     *     *
When Hodson hit Eddie Fuller on the back line of the end zone with 1:41 to play in the 7-6 victory over Auburn in 1988, such a thunder was unleashed from the home crowd at Tiger Stadium that the tremor caused by the vibrations of the sound registered on a seismograph in the LSU geology building a half-mile from the football arena, at exactly the time the touchdown was scored - and precisely at the instant those on the field felt a quake ripple across Tiger Stadium.

Verge Ausberry, now an assistant athletic director at LSU, was then a linebacker standing on the sidelines on the touchdown play. “When Eddie caught the ball,” Ausberry later said, “we could feel the vibrations under our feet. That was the first time we had felt that.”

The Tigers were pinned down most of the night by Auburn’s formidable defense, so much so that LSU saw the Auburn side of the field just once before the fourth quarter.

Still, the LSU defense was playing as well as Auburn’s, keeping the Tigers within hailing distance.
“Pete Jenkins (then LSU’s defensive line coach) used to always preach to us that every team had one drive in it,” Hodson recalled. “You see it all the time, one team really pounding another, but the team being whipped would somehow gather itself together for one drive. That wasn’t a conscious thought in our minds the night of the Auburn game, but I think it was in the back of our heads.”

And LSU was able to pull itself for one memorable late drive - and a very memorable Tiger victory.

LSU was coming off two straight losses to even its record at 2-2. “But we still thought we had a pretty good team,” Hodson said. “The thing was, now we had to put up or shut up.”

LSU didn’t have much of a case to make against undefeated Auburn until pretty late in the game. But the outcome had repercussions for the remainder of the season. Read more...http://www.tigerrag.com/?p=269362

    I like this column, thanks for writing it and I must say, Yes sir! That football players born with god given talent to be a great athlete, is one thing. But it is also true that the great moments in sports seem to always come from the fighting spirit of the great athletes heart. It’s their heart that make all of us want to say something about their fighting spirit, telling one another how much we appreciate the athletes heart. Great football players always show great heart that make them champions. Because the spirit of the thing, is the thing.
    Tommy Hodson was one of those LSU football players with great heart.
