I would never have imagined that I could agree on anything with Dianne Feinstein, the godless socialist the people of California has for a senator. But I finally heard it today on FoxNews: Alberto Gonzalez has been a disaster for the Department of Justice. I hope it would be the first and last thing I find myself agreeing with her.

This morning, I had an opportunity to chat with Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz, who is only 36 and has already argued six cases before the US Supreme Court with the 7th one on its way, the most any Texas attorney has done. His father came to the US from Cuba with nothing but the shirt on his back and $100 sown into his underwear. He put himself through UT and went on to graduate school. Ted grew up in Houston, graduated from Princeton and Harvard Law. He went on to clerk for chief justice William Rehnquist before going to private practice. Among the things that were mentioned was one alarming note that Bush signed an order asking the state courts to vacate a death sentence against a Mexican national because the International Court of Justice said so. The president swore to preserve, protect and defend the US constitution, and therefore US sovereignty, against foreign and domestic enemy, which he failed to do in this case. If he does not know then his legal counsel should know, that the president has no power over state courts. Bush is getting more and more things wrong. He's now been in Washington D.C. for too long. Thank God there is a twenty second amendment providing for the two terms limit.

I got home after church and caught the tail end of the Washington Redkins game against the Miami Dolphins. The call to kick a field goal and end the game during overtime by coach Joe Gibbs was great. End the game as soon as possible, why risk injury and who knows what else. I admire that coach. I had never really understood why Christians should be involved in dangerous extreme sport like car racing and risked their lives until I read his book. Doesn't matter what you do, as long as you redeem every available opportunity to share the gospel with people, you are fulfilling the great commission. And God is sovereign anyway, so if it's time for you to be with Him in heaven, you will go. Otherwise, you will be here until God so choose to bring you home with him, whether you are involved in dangerous sport or not. Better risking your life in obedient to God than just sit on your behind and wait for heaven, like so many Christians are doing.

Really enjoyed the US Open Men's Final. Roger Federer is the stuff a champion is made of. I wished Novak Djokovic had exercised greater self control but again he's twenty years old. He will learn and will gain the experience and he will be great. It was interesting and fun to watch Maria Sharapova cheered for Djokovic.

The night was capped off with the Dallas Cowboys win over the New York Giants. I was a little worry there at the end when the Giants caught up to 35-38. But thank God their defense was not so strong. I am rooting for the New England Patriots next week. I am still the only guy in my church who loves the Patriots. Everyone else is "any team but Patriots" so I imagine they will all be cheering for the San Diego Chargers.
