College Football

I really like college football, especially SEC football. There is something special about SEC football that makes it almost addictive. I say, "Almost," because I am not as addicted as I once was. I used to be so bad that it would keep me awake at night when my team lost, and my team has done some losing (they've done some winning too).

How silly it is when I look back now at how I used to let it consume me. I mean, there are young men that played the game, even professionally, that realized that it's a lot of fun but it isn't the most important thing. I think of John Croyle, Danny Wuerffel, Tim Tebow, Jay Barker, Will Herring, and countless others that realized that the biggest thing they could get out of sports was the opportunity to share GOD'S word, and it's an amazing word.

Today's word is 1 Corinthians 2:9, NIV, which reads, "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived - the things GOD has prepared for those who love Him."

Yes, I love my life. I love living this life. I am having a ball here on earth. But, it pales in comparison with what is awaiting GOD'S saints. I love the way the scripture describes it - NO eye has see, NO ear has heard, No human mind can conceive - we can only imagine what GOD has prepared for those who love Him.

College football is great! I really like it. But, I am reminded by the example of those who saw that it was for a season, it was a stepping stone to where GOD wanted them. It's not just college football. Whatever GOD has you doing, use it for His glory and to lead others to His blessings.

Be Blessed,
