Keith Bulluck

That's the thing, nobody really knows what we did and what we accomplished. In the last 11 games of the year, our backs were to the wall. We were 1-4 and facing elimination from the playoffs in early October, and we battled back and got all the way to the AFC Championship Game. That's doing something.

Kevin Kolb

I was proud of the (offensive) line. They fought. They really did. (Sam Houston) had eight guys in the box a lot of times and we were still getting 3 or 4 yards. (The) backs were running hard. They were fighting. You could see it in their faces out there.

What can you or I do? Alone, almost nothing. Yet one person - you alone - can make the difference. . . . The failure of just one person to join, to participate, to do whatever he or she can - your failure or my failure - may mean that there is just one too few to win the fight for sanity, and so leave the world on the road to destruction. Each of us, all of us, must do what we can.

Ayn Rand

Cesar Chavez

It is not good enough to know why we are oppressed and by whom. We must join the struggle for what is right and just. Jesus does not promise that it will be an easy way to live life and His own life certainly points in a hard direction; but it does promise that we will be "satisfied" (not stuffed; but satisfied). He promises that by giving life we will find life - full, meaningful life as God meant it.
