Roger Staubach was a pretty good qb in his time, but Manning was probably the best considering the talent he had around him every year. However, if it's based on Superbowl wins, of course Brady is the man.

I doubt anyone would object if you posted more then one chapter a day

I totally agree!

I feel like I've read some of DK's story before somewhere. Maybe it was on the yahoo page a few years ago.

Yup!

Thanks Drew! I got a good song to embed. The other was kinda old, but this one works.

Thank you. I got it. It was one of those that wouldn't embed.

I'm trying to embed a song for a blog post. I've seen it done by others and in the past I have myself, but it's been so long I've forgotten how.

Drew, into the link or other media? Because as a link it just shows the link and not the player

Can we still embed a video from youtube into a blog post? And if we can, how?

I've read five of the six stories Ace has posted here on GA. I highly recommend all of the completed stories. Each is fast-paced and filled with passion, love, and a look at life from a different prospective. Ace has the talent to be a famous author one day. He is certainly an Ace in the hole.

Happy Birthday to a very sweet and caring person, Renee!

Tell me and I’ll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I’ll understand.

When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice. - White Elk

You are good looking, because you are you and there's no one else in the whole wide world that's like you. We are all unique and thankfully so. The way we look on the outside is always changing, but the person I have spoken with in the pit shows me you are someone with compassion that cares about people, no matter what they look like or where they are from. That's a good person and that's you. Be proud of who you are.

After the author's mother died, he restarted college and slowly stopped posting. I have no other information or insight to the author's thinking. However, he himself posted both of his stories here as well BEFORE he stopped posting altogether.

Man has in the name of God brought Hell to earth for millions of people, but it was man. Many things in the Bible may be actual events or they may be parables, like Jesus of Nazareth used to teach. Which is which, I can't claim to know. Many of us have been demonized by the"Church". The very Church that is suppose to be the body of Christ, full of love and compassion for EVERYONE, non-judgemental, and protector of the weak. Yet that church has vociferated on the perceived sin of homosexuality while ignoring the fact that everyone single person sitting in every church are sinners. My own father once told he only hated three types of people, liars, thieves, and queers. I still haven't gotten completely over that sex talk. Science is apparently proving more and more everyday the validity of recorded events in the Bible. The very theory of the Big Bang, something from nothing, creation, is basically what Genesis recorded. I myself have no way to prove anything. I do have faith. I do love God. I do love all of you and I try very very hard not to judge, but I am human, I do fail. The difference between Christianity and most other religions, I can have forgiveness. We all can. Love you guys!

That is so sad you see it as a possible problem, but very believable by some actions and inaction. To me, and I am truly only speaking for myself, the century is irrelevant. When I look around the forests, the mountains, a simple small brook, I see all the small and large creatures and plants that inhabit them. I look up at night and see the billions and billions of stars that make up the visible universe, and my spirit crys out at the majesty of creation. Yes, creation. For no one can ever convince me that everything is all a fortuity occurrence. However, I also choose to respect everyone's beliefs, unlike some. I must question your statement concerning "most Europeans." Are you including Eastern Europeans? Furthermore, to me "living a life style influenced by Christianity" mean two things and two things only. Love the Creator of this amazing universe with all your heart and love your fellow man. Tell me kind sir, how is that hard to relate to with the world we live in today?

President Bartlet: Good. I like your show. I like how you call homosexuality an abomination. Dr. Jenna Jacobs: I don’t say homosexuality is an abomination, Mr. President. The Bible does. President Bartlet: Yes, it does. Leviticus. Dr. Jenna Jacobs: 18:22. President Bartlet: Chapter and verse. I wanted to ask you a couple of questions while I had you here. I’m interested in selling my youngest daughter into slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. She’s a Georgetown sophomore, speaks fluent Italian, always cleared the table when it was her turn. What would a good price for her be? While thinking about that, can I ask another? My Chief of Staff Leo McGarry insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly says he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or is it okay to call the police? Here’s one that’s really important ’cause we’ve got a lot of sports fans in this town: Touching the skin of a dead pig makes one unclean. Leviticus 11:7. If they promise to wear gloves, can the Washington Redskins still play football? Can Notre Dame? Can West Point? Does the whole town really have to be together to stone my brother John for planting different crops side by side? Can I burn my mother in a small family gathering for wearing garments made from two different threads? What Bartlet says in this TV show, is indeed chapter and verse. Further, the point he is making is a very valid point. A point I too hold. For whatever reason, that was the law, but then the law was fulfilled. I once prayed for God to let me know if being gay, active or inactive, was a sin. A three word verse came to me as my answer. God is love. Peace Billy

AJ. I've always respected you and supported you where I could. I hope you find what you're looking for and may it bring a lifetime of happiness.

Lisa I promise to continue both stories. In fact, I'll combine them in the near future. Thank you so much for your continued support!

I too found it later on Nifty and still ran into a wall on Christmas. However, KD promises new chapters soon with the help of a new editor. If the new one is the one listed here on GA, he has a good one and the chapters should be even better, I so look forward to them!
