This Sunday the NY Red Bulls will play the Columbus Crew in the MLS Cup (the Championship game of United States soccer).
The NY Red Bulls had a less than mediocre season, but somehow just made the playoffs in the 8th spot. They've played well in the playoffs, picked up some momentum, and had ludicrous amounts of luck to make it to the Finals.
The Columbus Crew is generally a better team, but one the Red Bulls beat 2 games to 1 during the regular season.
AND, the NY Red Bulls have Danny Cepero at goal. I believe Danny is the reason they made it this far.
Danny Cepero was thrown into the position of goalkeeper on October 18th due to the first choice goalkeeper's suspension for using illegal substances. That game was against... oh yeah, The Columbus Crew!
And, wait, Danny Cepero scored a goal in that game. Yes, the goalkeeper scored a goal!
Watch:
So, on Sunday, at 3:30pm EST you'll find me wrapped in my NY Red Bulls scarf, glued to ABC, watching the MLS Cup, and cheering on the soon-Champion NY Red Bulls.
You're invited to join me, otherwise, leave a message.

What does this have to do with God?
Everything.
Wow, you couldn't even come up with a remotely plausible answer, could you?
Saint Augustine, Summa Theologica:
I answer that, God is in all things; not, indeed, as part of their essence, nor as an accident, but as an agent is present to that upon which it works. For an agent must be joined to that wherein it acts immediately and touch it by its power; hence it is proved in Phys. vii that the thing moved and the mover must be joined together. Now since God is very being by His own essence, created being must be His proper effect; as to ignite is the proper effect of fire. Now God causes this effect in things not only when they first begin to be, but as long as they are preserved in being; as light is caused in the air by the sun as long as the air remains illuminated. Therefore as long as a thing has being, God must be present to it, according to its mode of being. But being is innermost in each thing and most fundamentally inherent in all things since it is formal in respect of everything found in a thing...Hence it must be that God is in all things, and innermostly.
In other words, you got to lazy to connect all of your posts to God and are now using religio-gibberish to justify this laziness.
If you read the "About" section of this page you'll note that this blog is a way "share my thoughts on the world and life."
I often use it to highlight the holiness in the world around us and, to try and notice God where others don't.
If you fail to find holiness in soccer, I pray you meditate deeper. If you fail to see the humor that God has gifted us with when watching Justin Timberlake in spandex and high heels, I pray for you.
