Yesterday, I spent much of the afternoon working in the house and listeing to/watching the NFL draft. I am a football junkie, so any kind of football nugget I can get, I take. It is exciting to me to see the future of so many franchises hanging in the balance between the potential bust, first round pick, and the future 10 year all-pro. Who knows how these players will work out? With all of the conjecture and all of the predictions, only time will tell.
I was bored after the Falcons made their moves and I began thinking…if God had a football team, who would be God’s top 5 picks and why?
Pick # 1: Jesus. Who else? I mean really. He can run, punt, pass, catch and kick. Plus, in the post game interviews, he will thank God for his success and actually mean it!
Pick # 2: Moses. He lays down the law and throws tablets. Is there anybody else you want anchoring your interior line when the game is on the line? Give him some manna and watch him lead the team through the desert.
Pick # 3: Paul. “The Apostle” hits the hole quickly, has great vision and knows how to guide a team to victory. You can’t jail him and you can’t contain him.
Pick # 4: Mary. Let’s be gender inclusive here. She is the glue that holds this team together. Also, let’s face it; this team needs a mother, a leader with some chutzpah.
Pick # 5: Peter. “The Rock” upon which all teams are built. We cannot deny, especially not 3 times, that he can get the job done.
OK, this was a silly exercise. But I write bunches of serious stuff. And I am serious about my faith and telling you about it. Dr. Bob told me on Thursday: “Sometimes we need to enjoy a little leisure time.” This is what this column is today…leisure. I hope you are able to do some of that today and I hope we don’t take ourselves so seriously all the time. Know when to be and know when it is okay not to be and you will have less stress in life. I hope you have a great week.
Awesomeness Abounding!
