It is abundantly clear that the cosmos cannot sustain itself forever. Therefore, it is most intelligent and reasonable for us to believe that the universe was created by the eternal being that is Qod. Are you interested in getting to know God? He loves all persons. He loves you and me. Almost 2000 years ago, he sent his son Jesus Christ into the world to die on the cross for our wrongdoings and sinS and re turn to life through the miracle of the resurrection. God’s plan for each of us is that we turn away from our sins and believe in Christ. When we do this, God forgives us and gives us fellowship and eternal life with himself. You can be come a Christian right now wherever you are. Tell God that you are sorry for your sins and that you here and now accept Christ as your Savior and Lord. As soon as you have received Christ, you may be sure that he has forgiven you of every sin and has given you eternal life. You may be sure that God will lead you by his spirit in the way that is good and right. Make friends with other Christians. Meet with them for worship, prayer, and Bible study. Make a habit of reading the Bible. Start with the gospel of John. And may God bless you!

It ended when Pitts caught a short sideline pass, broke Joe Walker's tack le at the 10, leaped for the goal line, was flipped into the air by Roderick Babers and landed in the end zone. “I knew I was flying over him as soon as I got off that one tackle," Pitts said. “Chris made a great throw, and we set up the play perfectly. (The leap) was pretty scary, but 1 saw (Vir ginia Tech QB) Michael Vick do it to day, so I thought I'd give it a shot.” Texas (1 -1) could not answer, with Brandon Healy dropping a fourth- down pass from Applewhite with 33 seconds to play.
