Several LDS Players in the NFL

Austin Collie from BYU, now #17 with Indianapolis Colts

Though BYU had a terrible weekend in football (went from #7 in the rankings to #20), there are several LDS players from BYU and other colleges who have made it to the NFL this season. Almost every team in the NFL has at least one LDS player. The Baltimore Ravens have five!

"My Kindness Shall Not Depart From Thee"

"Jesus Christ is the greatest Being to be born on this earth--the perfect example. He is Lord of lords, King of kings, the Creator, the Savior, the God of the whole earth, the Captain of our salvation, the Bright and Morning Star. He is in all things, above all things, through all things, and round about all things; he is Alpha and Omega, the first and the last; his name is above every name, and is the only name under heaven by which we can be saved.

He will come again in power and glory to dwell on the earth, and will stand as Judge of all mankind at the last day.
