Colts 17, Ravens 15

And HUGE props to the Defense for limiting the Ravens to a field goal when they were 1st and goal on the Indy 1. Three attempts to get into the end zone from a yard out and the defense shut them down!

The Path to Divinity is Not a Narrow One...

"The Indians around here tell a cautionary fable about a great saint who was always surrounded in his Ashram by loyal devotees. For hours a day, the saint and his followers would meditate on God. The only problem was that the saint had a young cat, an annoying creature, who used to walk through the temple, meowing and purring and bothering everyone during meditation. So the saint, in all his practical wisdom, commanded that the cat be tied to a pole outside for a few hours a day, only during meditation, so as to not disturb anyone. This became a habit - tying the cat to the pole and then meditating on God - but as years passed, the habit became hardened into religious ritual. Nobody could meditate unless the cat was tied to a pole first. Then one day the cat died. The saint's followers were panic-stricken. It was a major religious crisis - how could they meditate now, without a cat to tie to the pole? How would they reach God? In their minds, the cat had become the means.

Be very careful, warns this tale, not to get too obsessed with the repetition of religious ritual just for it own sake. Especially in this divided world, where the Taliban and the Christan Coalition continue to fight out their international trademark war over who owns the rights to the word 'God' and who has the proper rituals to reach God, it may be useful to remember that it is not the tying of the cat to the pole that has ever brought anyone transcendence, but only the constant desire of an individual seeker to experience the eternal compassion of the divine. Flexibility is just as essential for divinity as is discipline."
