Hockey?

Someone forgot to tell me hockey was back in season. I found out watching Sportscenter? Now I have to write and beg ESPN again to put a disclaimer at the bottom of their shows so I can plan to change channels:
WARNING, HOCKEY HIGHLIGHTS WILL RUN IN 5 MINUTES, PLAN ACCORDINGLY!

My prof wrote this in his weekly correspondence, I really like it:
When Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman (Jn 4) or the leper (Mk 1) or the tax collector (Lk 19) or the adulteress (Jn 8), He focused on their future potential not their past failure. He encouraged them to new lifestyles rather than berated them for old ones. He offered forgiveness not judgement. He replaced shame with dignity, embarrassment with worth, and brokenness with hope. He still does!
