I have so much to talk about, but time is moving so fast. I got back from Indy late Friday night from the CBA conference. The conference went great. I met a lot of people who have hearts for the Lord. I’ll be telling you more about that this week. But the pressing matter it last nights game. The Patriots and the Giants.
Last night in the fourth quarter I was a little nervous. Then I told my self this has to happen for God to make it a miracle. The patriots just scored and there was about 4 minutes on the clock, a typical David and Goliath story. I love how God uses the weak things of this world to humble the proud. So after a short return and a couple of completions the giants are faced with a 3rd &11 and the score is 10 / 14. To me this is much more then a game, to tell you the truth I really don’t follow football or care for it that much. What I do care about is watching God do things that defy all odds. This was an example of that. And excuse me that I don’t know this guys name, but number 85 caught this ball with his helmet and one hand. This catch wasn’t pretty, I guess it must of looked like a 16 year old boy walking on to a field with s slingshot. Then Plaxico Burress Finished off with a catch in the end zone, he then kneeled down. After this when he was interviewed he started crying and thanked God.
They don’t show the “kneel” or the “interview” on nfl.com but they did show that funny helmet catch. Either way I want you to remember that you don’t have to attended an ivy league school, have parents who are millionaires or a movie star look. God will use you if you allow Him!
I like what you said about living for the Lord. Life is so simple when that is put into action. God will honor those who put Him first. Carolann

How insightful! It wasn't until you just replayed those moments in the last five minutes till I could recall some of the moments of victory on the faces of some of the Patriots players. They were convinced it was THEIR win. Even I thought so, but that was only because my wife was voting for the Giants, and I couldn't root for the same team as her...what fun would that be! But she said "Did you hear what David Tyree (85) said when he caught that catch in the endzone? He said "That was nothing but the Lord" How fitting for a "David" to make that play. God not only likes a good game too, He has an awesome sense of humor. This has been one of the hardest years of my life, but the Lord inspired my mother to name me "David" as well. I know that He has something great in store for me and everyone of His children, we just have to be willing to care just a little bit more about what He wants for our lives than what we want. Look out Goliath, here I come and the Lord has my back.
