First things first.... The Ohio State Buckeyes are Big Ten Champions...again! At the very least they will play in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. There is still an outside chance of reaching the National Title game. Two of these three things need to happen:

1. LSU loses one of their last two (Arkansas or the SEC Championship)
2. Oklahoma wins the Big 12 Championship
3. West Virginia loses one of their last two (UConn or Pitt)

By Richard Rohr

Our ordinary lives are given an extraordinary significance when we accept that our lives are about something much larger, our pain is a participation in the redemptive suffering of God, our creativity is the very passion of God for the world. No longer do we need to self-validate, self-congratulate or self-doubt—our place in the cosmos is assured. I do not need to be the whole play or even understand the full script. It is enough to know that I have been chosen to be one actor on the stage. I need only play my part as well as I can.
