Part of the function of icons is for private devotional purposes. Early in the church's history, icons made it easier for worshipers to understand biblical themes and stories, as they could not read. Icons also create an atmosphere that enhances the worship and act as constant reminders of the divine.

This CD I made last week is all rock. Hard stuff to get you pumped up.

I'll be back up to about 280 before the middle of the season. I'll probably be about 280-285 ... somewhere around there. I still got my speed and can still be swift.

It was a good game, but I'd say we could have played better. We've got good coaches and a good line. I'm pretty sure we could have stepped up on defense and played better.

It was a good experience for me. To get out there and play with guys older than me, it was a really good experience.

I feel real comfortable going into next season. I've got a big line to run behind, good coaches to listen to and coach me up, and we're going to have some good leaders from last year. I think we should do good. We'll try to go and win another state championship.

It really helped everybody come out and play hard.

I was at Villanova on a recruiting visit and attended the game against Delaware. The Delaware fans were just going crazy.

Our offensive line is going to carry us through the season. We've got four returning starters on the line.
