Match Of The Week Preview:
(By MikeFromOhio)

 

wasn’t supposed to be a weekend that gave us great games, yet it gave as many as “Separation Saturday” did. Between the instant classic that was Notre Dame vs. Michigan State, to the shocking upset of Boston College by NC State, to the near heart attack that Georgia gave it’s fans against Colorado, the weekend was absolutely spectacular. This week features one real marquee matchup. #1 Ohio State visits Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City to play #13 Iowa. This should be an excellent game. Other notable games are #24 Georgia Tech at #11 Virginia Tech and Alabama at #5 Florida.

Saturday, September 30th, 2006 – 8:00 PM on ABC



at

(1) Ohio State (-7) at (13) Iowa



Ohio State faces easily it’s biggest in conference challenge until the Michigan game in November. This is a sneaky tough game with an Iowa team that dominated Ohio State the last time they played (33-7 in 2004) in Iowa City. That was then and these are both very different teams. Iowa, having escaped Syracuse and played two consecutive uninspired games against Iowa State and Illinois, have a chance to make a lot of noise in the Big Ten and nationally. Ohio State has a chance to keep the dream season going. The key of this game comes down to the battle of the Quarterbacks. If Troy Smith throws 2 interceptions like he did against Penn State, Ohio State will struggle to win this game. Same goes for Iowa and QB Drew Tate. If he struggles or gets rattled like what happened last year against Ohio State, then Iowa will struggle to win this game. In the end I think Ohio State’s defense will continue to play well enough to put this team in position to win the game. Iowa will keep it close, but this Ohio State team went into Austin and won. Iowa can win this game, but I think Ohio State will win this game.



Ohio State 29 – Iowa 17

After last night's win, The Saints versus the Panthers looks to be a whole lot more interesting. Especially since Carolina is still struggling even with it's first victory.

Fearing The Worst

READ: Galatians 6:2-10

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. —Galatians 6:2

When I learned I needed chemotherapy, my biggest fear was losing my hair. I knew this was a vain thought and should have been a minor concern, but I rationalized that it was okay to grieve what the Bible calls a woman’s glory (1 Cor. 11:15).

I knew, however, that the loss I was grieving was not my glory but my identity. My hair, which reached to my knees, was so much a part of who I was that I was afraid of losing myself when I lost it. In the past I’d had nightmares about having my hair cut. What would happen when it was really gone? I feared the worst.

But the worst never happened. I had my hair cut short—a little anxiety but no nightmares. And then it fell out—some sadness, but no despondency.

Several weeks later my dear friend Marge said to me, “Julie, I can’t tell you how often I have grieved the loss of your hair. It’s so much a part of you.”

Suddenly I realized that Marge was fulfilling the command of Galatians 6:2, “Bear one another’s burdens.” She was coming alongside me with prayers and empathy to ease my burden.

Satan wants to defeat us with heavy burdens, but fellow believers by their love and support can minimize the suffering he causes. Julie Ackerman Link

Thank You, heavenly Father, for a family of believers
who carry our burdens when we are weak. Thank You for
those who truly “weep with those who weep.” Amen.

Bearing one another’s burden helps make the burden bearable.

Bible in One Year: Bible in One Year;   Isaiah 3-4; Galatians 6

I am trying to talk and watch the TiVo of NCIS. I have a hard time doing two things at once. What's for supper. I went to Walters for a steakburger, but it wasn't very good, so I didn't eat much of it.

Thanks for your wonderful Tribute to the Troops!

Oh, wow...we had them about a month ago. I am not sure where they came from. They were everywhere.

Glad you had a nice day at the beach. Must be nice just to go there anytime you want to.

Yes, I worked all day, but did get off 30 minutes early today. Yay!

To answer your question....

San Diego Padres (84-72) At St. Louis Cardinals (80-75), 8:10 P.m.

(Sports Network) - With their playoff chances becoming more uncertain, the St. Louis Cardinals turn to the ace of their pitching staff when the struggling club plays the middle contest of a crucial three-game series with the National League West-leading San Diego Padres tonight at Busch Stadium.

  St. Louis owned a 6 1/2-game cushion atop the NL Central less than a week ago, but the margin has dwindled down to 2 1/2 during the team's current six game losing streak. The Cardinals let second-place Houston back in the division race by losing all four games to the Astros over the weekend.

  Houston picked up another game on St. Louis on Monday after the Cardinals dropped a 6-5 decision to the Padres and the Astros edged Philadelphia.

  Mike Piazza singled home the go-ahead run in the seventh inning as San Diego widened its lead in the NL West with last night's win. The Padres moved their advantage to two games on the Los Angeles Dodgers, who were idle Monday.

  Brian Giles went 2-for-3 with three RBI and scored once for the Padres, who won for the fifth straight time. Scott Cassidy (6-4) notched the win after throwing a scoreless sixth inning, while Scott Linebrink closed things out in the ninth to pick up his second save.

  San Diego was originally slated to start David Wells, but scratched the veteran left-hander Monday afternoon because of gout in his right foot. Rookie Mike Thompson filled in and allowed five runs - four earned - on eight hits with one strikeout in 3 1/3 innings.

  Jim Edmonds belted a pinch-hit three-run homer for the Cardinals in his first game action in a month. The standout center fielder had been sidelined since August 26 with post-concussive syndrome. Chris Duncan also went deep in the loss.

  St. Louis hopes to get back on track tonight behind 2005 NL Cy Young winner Chris Carpenter. The star right-hander wasn't sharp his last time out, however, as he yielded six runs over eight innings to suffer the loss in Houston last Thursday.

  Carpenter had allowed just one run in 16 innings during back-to-back winning efforts over Houston and San Francisco prior to his most recent outing. He had won five consecutive decisions as well.

  The 31-year-old is 2-1 with a 2.89 earned run average in four career starts against San Diego. Carpenter hasn't faced the Padres yet this season.

  San Diego goes with former Cardinal Woody Williams, who has put together three straight outstanding efforts. The 40-year-old is 3-0 with a sparkling 1.02 ERA over that span, yielding just two earned runs over 17 2/3 innings of work.

  Williams extended his personal winning streak with 5 2/3 strong innings Thursday against Arizona. He gave up one unearned run and five hits while walking just one.

  The veteran right-hander, who pitched for St. Louis from 2001-04, has lost both career starts against his former club and pitched to a cumulative 6.00 ERA in those games.

  San Diego took two of three from the Cardinals at Petco Park earlier this season and has won eight of the last 12 meetings between the clubs.

My hubby (don't faint) tried to get on this weekend so we could talk while I was in Houston. They were supposed to send him a confirmation e-mail. He didn't get it in 2 days and he cancelled out of it. I was disappointed. :( MR.LUV didn't happen. *sigh*
