"The City of Truth."
Now, when I was in high school, I played on the basketball team. And all my friends were jocks, and we liked the Houston Oilers. We really liked the Houston Oilers when Earl Campbell came on the team in 1978. Well, the year was 1993, and the Oilers had Warren Moon, and they had the running shoot offense, or whatever they called it, with five wide receivers, and they could score points really fast.

He used that as a testimony that he shared around the country, how God gave him that peace. Well, that's a great comeback, but that's just a game. That's football. That doesn't really matter in real life. So, how about in rea ...
