Service Times and The Big Game!

Recently a man I respect and admire wrote an article about how we determine our approach to scheduling church services during big sporting events like the one coming up on February 7. What will the churches do especially if they are rooting for teams that could be headed in that direction? John Pratt, a pastor and teacher at Central Seminary in Plymouth, Minnesota addresses this topic.

He brings out several things that we all should wrestle with even if you are not a sports fan, but have any activities in which you are an enthusiast. Let it challenge you as much as it did me.

Red Neck Skeet Shoot

For all my southern friends and those who love to golf. Here is a great combination of two of our favorite past times. Enjoy!

Go TarHeels!

I am certainly straying away from my usual fair. But, I am a huge North Carolina TarHeels fan. Our family just painted one of our boy's room in UNC Blue and we are excited for this evening's game against Michigan State.

Although sports is a major thing in our country and probably for some sports it has become a major thing around the world, there is truly nothing like college sports. I do need your prayers, however. I am so surrounded by people who are rooting for the enemy and God knows I need grace not to let them try to discourage me with their banter!

Enjoy the Madness and our family will be rooting for God's favorite team. How do I know? Well as my big brother and I have noticed, God did paint the sky Caroline Blue! Go Heels!

Watch out Tiger!

David Flinck sent some of us a link to this video clip. I just had to pass it along here. Very warming and it has a great story line. Be warned, you may want to have some Kleenexes handy.
