Go Bears!

So Chicago finally made it into the Superbowl finals, and the whole city is crazy over it: no photos because i keep forgetting to bring my camera, but the Art Institute lions are wearing football helmets, and the office buildings have entire faces selectively lit up to spell out messages like "bear down, bears!" and "go bears!". Awesome!

And in church today, my priest gave us two passages to meditate upon, and this is probably one of the rare occaisions i'll post scripture on my blog, but:

Isaiah 59:11 "We all growl like bears."

Psalms 32:9 "Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee."

And there was also a blessing of throats (all the better to shout at the TV with)... so amusing! And everyone took it really really seriously.
