Anyone who doesn't live in the state of Alabama is probably thinking of another game than the one I am referring to. That is a reminder that there is a big world outside of your little one. (And it isn't shaped like the state of Alabama.)

Alabama or Auburn? I don't care.

But I think it's good for people to have something fun to enjoy in their free time and distract them from the serious things in life. Since I am a workaholic, I have work to do instead. (If you're planning to call the men in white coats to come get me, my address is...)

A woman decked out in blue and orange Auburn gear gave me the evil eye on the way into the office this morning, either because I am wearing beige and olive green, or because I am gorgeous. I think she should pay attention to her football team and stop worrying about what other people are wearing or if I am hot.

Ha ha.

This reminds me of the night I took Farmboy with me to shop at the local Wal-Mart (yes, he was not thrilled about it, so he's normal). He conducted a sociological study on who checked me out during our shopping trip. Perhaps he had an influence on the results, but he said that only the women shoppers looked me over. What guy really cares if the purse is Coach or if there is a little junk in the trunk? Men are more inclined to love women the way they are than women are inclined to love themselves.

That said, I love myself the way I am, even sans Auburn clothes.

And speaking of Wal-Mart, the local news is beating this story to death about a resolution passed at the Alabama Baptist State Convention:

"The Wal-Mart resolution, which calls for Baptists to pray for the store’s leaders, urges messengers to ask local and national Wal-Mart officials to reconsider their recent joining of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce."

Hmm. I thought the Bible teaches tolerance of others, but what do I know? I'm just a lowly follower of Methodism.

I suggest that the Baptists put their energies into situations that bring positive outcomes to their followers, and leave everyone else alone. And they should watch the 'Big Game' this weekend, which will keep their minds off of hating homosexuals.
