Well, if it'd been a piece of toast - we could say it was a sign from God!

Re: Brett Farve's Jets jersey bought 6yrs ago..

This story reminds me of the summer of 1980 about about 3-4 months before Ronald Reagan was elected President.

My wife worked at a D.H. Holmes department store (like a Dillards). One day while I was there waiting for her to get off work I was wandering around their book department looking around.

I noticed a display of a new large hardback unabridged dictionary (think the size of one of those large family Bibles).

I was flipping through it and notice they had a lot of "extras" at the back. One of those extras was a section on the Presidents of the United States. They had a small color oval picture or painting of each President from George Washington on forward along with the years he was President.

Imagine my surprise when I got to the last page of that section and saw a picture of Ronald Reagan and him listed as the 40th President of the United States with the date 1981- ___ listed!!!!!!

I showed my wife and said that if RR lost the election I was going to come back and by the book as it would be a misprint. Thankfully he did not lose!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

When I saw this story I laughed out loud because isn't that just the way things goes sometimes? Serendipitous moments

Remember how athletes are featured on cereal boxes? The Quarterbacks from the Super Bowl. They make boxes from both teams just in case.

Apparently the new Madden 09 football game for the game systems, Xbox and Playstation, etc shows Farve in his Packer uniform when he ain't there anymore
