Before the Super Bowl Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis gave an interview and said some pretty interesting things. I'm sure he said some more interesting things after the game but I couldn't stand to listen to him anymore. For all I know SNL was right and he really did stand at the middle of the field raising his arms to the sky waiting to be lifted up into heaven. But here are some of the things he said before the game about the double homicide he was connected with and what he would say to the family of the two dead boys:
"God has never made a mistake"
I think it's one thing to say God knows everything that will happen and something else entirely to say everything happens because God makes it happen. If that's true that means God made the World Trade Center crumble to the ground. The terrorists' free will played no role in that. It means every time a Chinese family murders their baby girl because they really wanted a baby boy it's not really the parents free will that's doing it but God. Personally, I don't believe in God and it's all just free will and dumb luck.
"If our system took the time to really investigate what happened 13 years ago, maybe they would have got to the bottom line truth. But the saddest thing ever was that a man looked me in my face and told me, We know you didn't do this but you're going down for it anyways.'"
Yes, Ray Lewis actually said that. He knows what happened, knows who killed the two boys, but doesn't feel like he needs to say anything because if the police had just done their job they wouldn't need his help. Well, can't argue with that one. Snitches get stitches after all (sarcasm).
But the saddest thing to Ray, since it's always been all about Ray, isn't that 2 people were killed it's that they tried to wrongly convict him. That's the real tragedy here. Not death, but a possible wrongful conviction. That's like killing a homeless man with your car and then being upset that he dented the bumper.
"If you knew, really knew, how God works, he don't use anybody who commits things like that for his glory."
Actually, I kind of thought that was the whole basis of Christianity, that people make mistakes, sometimes very serious ones, but can be forgiven and serve God. And who proclaimed Ray as God's prophet to the NFL? Or is the real truth, Ray Lewis feels so incredibly guilty about what happened he has to overcompensate by telling himself he's a servant of God just so he can sleep at night. Like religion that's just something everyone will have to decide for themselves.

Divorce can also very wildly from person to person. Some people try to work through it as painlessly as possible while others will lawyer up and fight it every step of the way. Hopefully yours won't be too bad.
