Super Bowl Sunday is upon us. Pittsburgh. Green Bay. I hate both teams, and couldn't care less who wins. I've been saying I probably won't watch, but I'm sure I'll be 'spot-checking' the score anyway. But I've been a Kansas City Chiefs fan for years, so I'm used to not caring who wins the Super Bowl.
I'm also a hockey fan. Simply put, I love the game of hockey. The speed, skill, and intensity. The idea that if you turn your head for just a moment, you might possibly miss something. Of course I want my team to win, but when they don't, I'm still glad I watched. I've attended a lot of minor league & amateur games in Indianapolis, and NHL games in St. Louis and Columbus, Ohio. The game atmosphere is always fun. I've spent a lot of money and driven through snow, cold, and late nights just to enjoy the game.
It made me think of this point - we always talk about how tired, busy, or broke we are. But it seems no matter how tired, busy, or broke we are, we always find the energy, time, and money to do the things we really want to do. I know I'm like that with sports. Am I always like that with my family? (I don't think I'll ask my wife.) Am I like that with my relationship with Jesus Christ? (I probably should ask.)
Maybe you should too.
