Eating His Flesh – A Metaphor for Ultimate Commitment

One of the little pleasures in life for meΒ isΒ the NFL. Perhaps because the season is only sixteen games, but more likely because of the drama. The story lines every year are so fun and interesting that the off-field stuff is just as interesting, or sometimes more interesting, than the games themselves. A couple of years ago my favorite team, the Detroit Lions,Β was featured on a show calledΒ Hard Knocks.

Hard KnocksΒ provides a behind-the-scenes look at a team during the preseason. It was so interesting to see all the hard work that goes into preparing for a season. The stories of the players who make the team or get cut are gripping.

Tuesday nights I host an open conversation at the historic Tap Room in downtown Ypsilanti, MI. We would love for you to join us!

Do you think that there is an immigration crisis? In your opinion should the US receive refugees? Do you think that undocumented people have due process rights?

This and more Tuesday at 8 pm.
