"Here you are, about to play a game that the world says is the most important thing in the world. Win and they praise you. Lose and they crush you. And here I have a chance to talk to the coolest, most courageous people. It puts it all into perspective. The game doesn’t really matter. I mean, I’ll give 100 percent of my heart to win it, but in the end, the thing I most want to do is not win championships or make a lot of money, it’s to invest in people’s lives, to make a difference.”

“He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.” (John 1:10).

While performing at the Kraft Music Hall in 1941, Bing Crosby sang “White Christmas”, a song by Irvin Berlin, and unexpectedly produced the best selling single of all time. There is scarcely anyone today who is not familiar with the old-fashioned melody, for it surfaces each year with the same nostalgic force it unleashed that first December all those years ago.

But things are notably different in our world today. Especially when it comes to Christmas; and specifically when it comes to Christ. The political/social climate of our world is increasingly hostile to anything Christian, and much is being done to exclude Christ from all public forums.

Once again we see the truth of John’s ancient words, “He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not” (John 1:10). John does go on to tell us that, even though the world does not accept Jesus, there are those who do. And God gives them “the power to become childern of God” (john 1:12).

So, here’s a gift from me to you. A Christmas prayer, really. I wrote this to express not only what’s in my heart, but also in the hearts of millions throughout our world today.

Take the old tune “White Christmas” and sing the following words as an expression of your faith and hope during these Holy Days. And may this rise as a prayer to Heaven, which moves God to act on our behalf and answer it even while the words are on our lips!

I’m praying for a Christ Christmas
Just like the ones we used to know.
With the Babe in the manger,
People being friends with strangers,
And helping every needy soul.

I’m praying for a Christ Christmas
Just like it was that holy night.
May your days be filled with God’s light
And may all your Christmases have Christ.

May God fill your life with all the treasures that are hid in Christ, as you do your part to openly make Him known to others!

Denard Robinson’s Twitter Was Hacked, Likely By His (Ex) Girlfriend Who Called the Michigan QB a “Liar and Manipulator”

College Football, Twitter TheBigLead October 6th. 2011, 12:56pm

Denard Robinson, Michigan’s talented QB, hadn’t tweeted since September 20th. Then, this morning, a flurry of bizarre tweets from his account hit the web and his number of followers soared.

Robinson’s girlfriend (ex?) hacked his account (see below). She dropped many allegations about how the QB changed as a person and cheated on her. The female (unnamed) admitted to hacking Robinson’s account and LOL’d about it. Men everywhere (married guys, included) – your girlfriend/jump-off/wife/fiancee should not have any of your pivotal passwords (email, Facebook, twitter, etc). Kindly remedy this, now.

The tweets have been deleted (it looks like Robinson just deleted his account and started over), but they were up long enough for the world to see. For Robinson, it probably felt like getting pantsed in gym class, and struggling to pull up your boxers. Here’s a screen grab:

Reblog from the New York Times

Love these guys!

Without Congressional action before the end of the month, FHA loan limits are set to fall to the same levels they were at before the housing meltdown, which could send another jolt through an already ailing housing market just when the recovery can least afford it.

For more than 75 years, the FHA has made home ownership a reality for millions of creditworthy Americans who don’t make the cut for a traditional bank loan. For example, FHA offers qualified home buyers financing with as little as a 3.5% down payment and a credit score as low as 580, allowing borrowers who take an FHA-backed mortgage to pay a premium of roughly 1% annually. Borrowers with nontraditional credit histories may also be eligible for maximum financing.

Since the collapse of the subprime mortgage bubble, the program has played a substantial role stabilizing the housing market. In an effort to boost liquidity in the market, Congress wisely raised the FHA loan-limit caps to $729,750.

Allowing the loan limits to now drop to $625,500 from $729,750 in certain areas will squeeze qualified home owners out of the market. Loan limits vary based on the median home price in an area, which is also going to drop from 125% of median to 115%. This reduction will affect people taking out much smaller loans as well. In fact, the new limits will affect 669 U.S. counties in 42 states.

Leading housing groups have already noticed the potential impact if Congress does nothing. Applications for mortgages between $625,500 and $729,750 fell 34% in August, says the Mortgage Bankers Association. In 2010 alone, lenders originated $30 billion in loans for properties in this bracket. This represents a sizeable chunk of the market that needs to remain intact. We’re more than three years into the housing slump and home sales remain weak, and yet Congress is putting the housing market in further peril.

During a Senate Banking Committee hearing, housing experts warned against reducing the limits until the market bounces back. Even Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody’s Analytics, who originally supported allowing the limits to expire, told The Wall Street Journal this isn’t a good time for the government to stop helping home owners. “Given what’s happening in the housing market and the economy, I think that’s an error,” Zandi said.

Fortunately, a bipartisan group of representatives, led by Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY), has proposed a short-term extension of the limits. “Without the current limits, fewer mortgages would be eligible for the guarantees provided by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Housing Administration,” Ackerman wrote.

Urging the House Appropriations Committee to attach the measure to a stop-gap funding bill, the group hopes the provision passes before the end of the month. If the short-term extension is passed, Congress can see if the housing market improves. It would be preferable for Congress to extend the current limits for two years, but this short-term measure would bring some stability to the market.

If the extension isn’t passed, there’s no reason to believe that the private sector is going to step up and provide reasonably priced, long-term, fixed-rate mortgages. The nation has been waiting for banks to start making loans for more than two years now. Without a free market alternative prepared to step up, this is an incredibly risky time for the government to step out of the housing market.

What do you think about the FHA loan limits potentially lapsing while home sales are struggling?

Once again...this will hurt Ann Arbor home buyers.
