PUNTS AND PANTS COMMENTARY
Tuesday, October 25, 2016
Yesterday’s DT, FOOTBALL
AND YOGA PANTS, brought immediate responses. Read on.

Wait a minute. The Orioles last won the World
Series in 1983 and you left [Maryland] in 1984? Coincidence? I
think not! At least now we Baltimore Orioles fans have someone to pin
this on! Hope all is well. Tim

I don’t care about football and hate
yoga pants…so does that mean I’m with you?
Either way…neither is worth talking
about on Monday. Teresa (NE) [Yes, we are as I neither own nor wear jersey
or floral tights. EBB4]

I got a chuckle out of this one. Could it have been
influenced by our observations and comments as well as trying to talk while
game was on TV??? SRF (NE) [Could be. Hadn’t given the lady’s floral limbs
or her eyes on screen any afterthought, but did awaken with topic on mind. Also
I’ve been reading Royko’s essays lately.

I don't care about yoga pants or Husker either. I
do hope Huskers win because so many people I do care about, care about them.
And, I like to see them do well. I just don't want to have to watch
them do it. And this comes from a Nebraska native. I have some yoga
pants but am careful when and how I wear them. If the fashion fades away, I'll
wear what comes next - within reason. My favorite, though, are still my
Mom jeans. Penny (NE)

I don't mind the yoga pants as long as
they are wearing a full-length robe to cover themselves.

Hey Brother
Ed,
Thanks
for stirring up some memories from the late ‘60s when I was fairly new to
Omaha, and a member of the Nebraska National Guard unit during the Vietnam era.
I had never been much of a football fan, and really thought it odd that my
Guard buddies knew all the Husker players names, where they were from, the
position they played and on and on it went during the breaks. Next thing
I knew, I bought a little black transistor radio so I could listen to KFAB
1110AM for the Saturday games on non-Guard weekends. It was easy to
become a fan because I wanted to fit in with my Guard buddies (nothing
spiritual mind you) and the Huskers were on a two year rampage through the Big
8 without any losses. So, I’ve been something of a fan during the good
and bad years.
Not
long after we moved to our current home in Conway, AR, we learned that there
were three Husker fan families on our street. At that stage of our life,
being Christ followers, it was a good excuse to have a Husker party at our
place, with hopes that we might introduce them to Jesus Christ. We
hardly knew each other, but at least we had one thing in common. The
other two couples moved out of this neighborhood and that casual friendship
vanished. About 8 years ago a new family moved into the house directly
behind us. We noticed a Nebraska “N” sign in the front yard. Since
they were in the front yard, we stopped to visit with them. That led to a
breakfast at our house. From that we learned they were in the choir of
the same Christ Community Church in Omaha, where we had been members for 9
years during a time of spiritual healing and growth for us. We remain
friends to this day, and if it hadn’t been for the “N” sign we might never have
become close friends.
Where
I’m going with this long story, is like the Apostle Paul, I try to find
something that I can use to start a relationship that will provide an
opportunity to share Christ.
Oh, by
the way, Nov. 5th is the game day for Huskers vs Ohio State football
game. In our Home Church we have close friends that have moved from Omaha
and Ohio to Conway and eventually they joined our Home Church group. We
occasionally organize a social event. This game sounded like a good idea,
so we are planning a football tailgate party for that weekend. We’ll find
out how mature we are as the game progresses – LOL.
As for
the Yoga (tight pants thing), I really don’t understand why some women, that
seem to be Christ followers, will wear these out in public and even to worship
services. The message of modesty has been lost on them. If they
have any understanding of what “turns on” their husbands or boy-friends, it is
what he sees. That’s how we are created, and we men have to guard our
thought life from lustful things that we face in life. If they were only
wearing them at home or as you stated in women parading in public right’s
protests it wouldn’t be in my face so to speak. I’m responsible for my own
thought life and what I entertain there, and the women who dress to display
their flesh will be held responsible for being a stumbling block to others,
whether male or female.
Best
regards,
Verlyn

interesting as the past Sunday morning Pastor Scott began series WHO ARE YOUR NEIGHBORS? EBB4]

Lastly I share compilation of spousal anonymous
comments recent and past: My spouse knows more about individual players on
their favorite teams than about me or our children!
