Pope backs the BEAUTIFUL GAME...

So can we possibly get some support for the playoffs in the MOST "beautiful game" of American Football from the Pope? I just thought this was interesting enough to post...

Pope backs the Beautiful Game
Richard Owen of The Times in Rome

Pope Benedict XVI, not normally thought of as a football fan, has said that the Beautiful Game can teach young people important lessons for life.

Speaking to Giancarlo Abete, head of the Italian football league, and a delegation from Serie D clubs, the Pope said at his weekly audience that despite corruption scandals and hooliganism, football could "increasingly be the vehicle of the values of honesty, solidarity and fraternity''.

William Punghellini, spokesman for the 162 Serie D clubs, said the league's work with youth teams helped to foster the values praised by the Pope. The clubs donated to the Vatican money they had saved by a decision not to buy Christmas presents. Vatican officials said it would go to help Bangladeshi flood victims.

The late Pope John Paul II was an ardent football fan who as a young man played in goal in his native Poland. Pope Benedict is not known to have played the game, but has encouraged a Vatican football tournament called the Clericus Cup and is said to support Bayern Munich, the leading team in his native Bavaria.

Holiday Events

Well, a few things occurred over the holidays. David allowed the new addition to our already big family. We think his name will be Diesel but we are still trying names on him. He's a brindle boxer, 6 weeks. He's much much different than Chato but I think he's going to fit right in. The other puppy with him is Dolly and she belongs to Candra and Danny. Thank you David for my baby, I love you for putting up with me during the whole puppy search. You are so patient with me and you are greatly appreciated. Also, David and I are going to Mexico for a bit soooo there will be no posts. Don't send hate mail... I need a vacation. LOL. I am wondering how to get the TV to work in the Hummer. I have got to watch the boys... thinking out loud again...

Next, the girls rode the "Blast Off" in Dallas...see the video. It was very cold and extremely windy as you can tell from the video. Sorry for the poor quality as it was taken with my phone.



I hope the New Year has started off great for everyone and wish the best of wealth, health and most of all love....
