After a lengthy sabatical, he sits in front of his computer, fingers ready at the keyboard. So much to say...so much to write. Topics race wildly through his mind, each fighting for the right to take their rightful place on the field of honor...the blog. Many will read the entries. Some will cry. Some will laugh. But one thing is certain...he must write, because he is...the Media Pastor.

Apologies, then biz as usual...

I must apologize. It has been over a week since I last made an entry. While some may find that appealing, I find it appalling. I am sorry, and I am now back on schedule.

Alot has happened in the news since my last entry. The steroid related murder suicide of a wrestler and his family. The NCAA smackdown of a major football program (sorry Ross). The 10,000th loss of a MLB team (sorry Ross...again). The DOW hitting 14,000 for the frst time ever (yeah Capitalism!).

All I know is this. During a week that had so much happening, so many different things in the news...a week when I had questions that needed to be answered... I was reminded of something that we all forget on a daily basis: The opportunity to spread the word can be found in the most unlikely places. I won't go into detail...I don't want to embarass the person...but just remember this: When you least expect it, an opportunity will arise to let someone know why they are on this planet, and that they are loved.

To quote Ralph Waldo Emmerson:

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

I know. A little serious for Whigham. Deal with it.

"Smackdown" is a little over-stated, don't you think? They took away the season that we wanted to forget (4 losses and a Holiday Bowl victory? I know, ANY kind of a bowl victory would be tough to relinquish for an Irish fan right now, but we see 'em a little bit differently in the Sooner Nation) and a couple of scholarships. It's not a high-five by any means, but OU remains a power, bay-bee!
