Vince Lombardi was that man. He was a prophet who reminded his players that wining required not only playing the game well but also an understanding of it. He is reputed to have met that first day with the franchise and told them that they must focus on the basics. He then picked up a football and shouted that they must start at the beginning. Holding the ball aloft he pointed to it and said gentlemen this is a football .
Commercials have some of the best and most humorous writing.
One of my favorites is the GOT MILK series, especially the one with the young priest who after beginning his late night snack of chocolate cake decides he needs some milk to complete his snack. Unfortunately for him the vending machine would not give him the milk and in a fit of panic he begins battling it out with the machine only to get caught by a group of very disapproving nuns. Today we celebrate one of the greatest mysteries of the church, the Holy Trinity. Today we try to understand God as three persons yet one being, one essence yet three individuals. This is one of the rare days set aside in the church to celebrate not an event, but a theological concept, a mystery.
