keeping in mind whats important

by jojo phin fan on Jul 30, 2010 2:00 PM EDT

I know guys i haven't posted here in a while and i know guys that this has nothing to do with football, but as training camp begins please just take a moment to thank god for everything we have, and to keep in mind that there are people who are not as healthy as us who are in a struggle for their lives every single day of the year. The camp that i work in for kids with cancer recently went on a trip to New York City and we choreographed a dance for the campers and counselors at 8 pm in middle of times square in front of 15,000 people. This gave the children hope and inspiration in the fight for their lives for the rest of the year when they are not in camp, and even more so gave us the counselors inspiration knowing that if these sick children can do this, with hard work and dedication anything is possible. So for a few moments before we all jump into the new football season, give a quick prayer for all the sick children in the world who need a cure, and thank god for everything that we have. Thanks guys, Jojo

i have seen lately some things happen to people that make me think how good i have it and i take life for granted sometimes. these kids are the true heroes not athletes . god bless and godspeed to any sick children or person for that matter.

Give Mankins a call.

I think he needs to spend some time with these folks.

Your point is well stated and well taken.

I really meant it.

I think you should give Logan a call. He isn’t busy getting ready for a football season, after all. He should spend some time with these kids. They would like it (maybe they don’t know what a chump he is, or maybe they do, kids are very wise sometimes). He might even get the clue that maybe being offered top 5 money in the world at what he does isn’t the worst blow life can throw your way.

Awesome vids. Thanks for posting them.

Oh yeah, one more thing.

Instead of giving f’n thieving bankers nearly a trillion bailout dollars for their bad gambling debts maybe we should have put that money into research that gives cancer a one-way ticket to hell! You with me on that?
