Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God. He is the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them—he remains faithful forever. He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets prisoners free, the Lord gives sight to the blind, the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down, the Lord loves the righteous. The Lord watches over the foreigner and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked. — Psalm 146:5-9

My whole being will exclaim, "Who is like you, Lord? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them." — Psalm 35:10

"Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the Lord. “I will protect them from those who malign them." — Psalm 12:5

The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God. But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish. — Psalm 9: 17-18

Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses. — Proverbs 28:27

The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor. — Proverbs 22:9

Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done. — Proverbs 19:17

Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God. — Proverbs 14:31

It is a sin to despise one’s neighbor, but blessed is the one who is kind to the needy. — Proverbs 14:21

A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. — Proverbs 11:25

Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court, for the Lord will take up their case and will exact life for life. — Proverbs 22:22-23

Even for those who struggle with comprehending what they read, these should be easy enough...let's gooo! Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy — Proverbs 31:8-9

We can have a bible study up in here. As a son of a preacher man, always ready for church!

Remember when the poor sick woman touched the hem of Jesus's robe and he told her if she wanted to be healed then she needed to get a job and her own Healthcare? And remember when He said, 'the poor will be with you always, so tell them to quit being lazy?' My favorite sermon was "Blessed are those who are sick of taking care of orphans, widows, the poor and the meek. Only those who can take care of themselves and are perfectly healthy and rich may enter the Kingdom of Heaven." Or maybe I have that all wrong...

Of course, for someone who tweets more than a 15 year old girl (34k and counting on just one of his accounts), it amazes me how anyone finds anything on that page...

You guys are focused too much on Shauna. I was more enlightened by Don Don's preformulated responses!

I believe J'Covan Brown (Kelly/Memorial) is still playing overseas. Turkey last I heard.

Awesome and well deserved experience for those boys. As grad said, soak it in and enjoy!

Good little fishy!

A mid major that will continue to bust your arse in everything not moral victory. Poor aggy ... more specifically recruiting. Don't worry, the blip is over. Continue to bask in your mediocrity lol

They are never going to win that division as long as King Nick is in T Town. In all fairness, they are competing with the best there ever was. And we are talking about aggy... I argued the other day that the GOAT coaches in the NFL, CFB, NBA and CBB are all active coaches (Belichik, Saban, Pop & Coach K). Certainly that isn't inarguable, but I really believe that. And Nick is probably the strongest argument of the 4...

If he is, he has been busy coordinating summer leagues/tournaments for the next guy. Seems like business as usual over at the Pound...

Unfortunately, like with many things in life, perception can become reality. Personally, I have seen other schools (even within the district) whose players play way more dirty than Silsbee. In fact, in the games I've seen, Silsbee has played good, aggressive defense (which I love to see) but has otherwise conducted themselves appropriately. I can't say the same with every school in the district. However, deservedly or not, Silsbee has gotten the reputation that doesn't jive with my personal observations. And obviously I haven't seen a tenth of the games AAW has. But when you have that rep, and then you have an incident like what happened, you sometimes faced heightened consequences. My hope is that Tigers take heed to the warning and show exemplary behavior in the coming season(s). Because they have a chance to do more special things and will be fun to watch on their quest.
