Every journalist should be responsible!

http://www.mediacomtoday.com/news/read.php?rip_id=%3CD9SVSLA80%40news.ap.org%3E&ps=1013 This is the norm, irresponsible journalism! This is why we at MSW Productions are Faith based and only produce TV shows that are All Positive and inspire others, www.midwestsportsweekly.com, it just might change someones life! Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouth, but only such as is good for building up, as it fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Highest Pedestal

Today and for years we have held those that are famous in Sports, Entertainment, Business, Government, etc on the Highest Pedestal.  The reason why, they are always in the limelight by consistently being covered, reported on and talked about, so we feel we know them as well as we know our own family and closest friends!  This lends us the privilege to worship, idolize, adore, even envy, respect, admire, appreciate and even disrespect based on the information we see, hear or read.
For me, I respect and appreciate these individuals that are in Sports, Entertainment and Business, etc!  I have for a long time said that I worshiped my grandparents, wife, children and felt really great about it!
Then, this past Sunday our Pastor, talked about the Ten Commandments and that's when I realized I didn't know them as well as I thought or should know!  Exodus 20 4-6 are the verses that I am referring to:  4  "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth, 5 You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I am God, 6 But showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments!  This I realized that only God is who I worship!  My family and friends, I love, respect, idolize, adore, admire, appreciate and care for, etc!  So those people other than God, we can still show them our chosen feelings and leave our worship for God!
Understanding and knowing this may give those individuals that we place on the Highest Pedestal their true respect of their gifts and talents!  Maybe this would give both a pure chance to lead some normalcy of life and still succeed in our respective gifts in life!!!

Lin is in!

Have you ever seen anything like it in the NBA?  "In with the Lin, out with the Old"  It is infectious to watch and listen to, there is so much excitement in New York and even across the NBA.

Lin is full of energy, smart on the court, obviously off the court as well, Harvard!  Lin brings to basketball a new lease, that you can play with your heart, intensity, excitement, skill,  knowledge and win, you can have fun in doing so!  The Knicks as a team are playing at the highest level and believe me those fans are on it!!!

Watching Lin and the Knicks twice this week against 1st class talent and teams, reminds me of a college team, playing in the NCAA Tournament, March Madness, where there is so much emotion knowing winner moves on.

I know they won't win every game, maybe they will with this atmosphere, however it brings to the NBA a level of excitement that hasn't been around for some time!  The fun is in Lin!

I can only hope the stars of the NBA take notice and raise the level of their game and play with same emotion and intensity that has rocked the NBA over the last week!
