When is it ok to answer?

Four Score and ... Mind if I Take This?

Personally I think it was very rude for Rudy Giuliani to answer his phone while he was speaking for the National Rifel Association. Regardless of who you are speaking for it is unacceptable to answer your phone during a speech. "Or he might have orchestrated the call, as some critics are saying, to lighten his image."- I do not believe he answered to lighten his image. Who thinks of something like that? He answered because cell phones are becoming to important for American life, and people are so attached they are forgetting when it is appropriate and when it isn't to answer a phone.

Prayer on the field

After a Hard Hit, Kneeling in Prayer
I have always seen football as a rough sport. I enjoy watching, but I get chills when I see the players go down hard after a big hit. This article has a lot of meaning and shows the real people that wear those uniforms we see every weekend. All of the NFL players are big and look mean, and you would think they wouldn't give a care in the world who they hurt. But reading this article and see the two teams come together to pray for an injured player in the middle of the game, shows the heart that they really have. Chris Kelsay refers to them as the gentle giants, after reading this I would believe it.
