Rousey's Reflections

Well its that time of year again. The Colts will be playing the Saints on Sunday Feb 7th for the Superbowl championship. More chicken’s FEAR this time of year more than any other time, as there are more chicken wings consumed than anyone could ever imagine (including myself). However it amazes me how people are literally “sucked” into the time warp of the Superbowl or any other sports event. Believe me, I do my share of being “drawn” into it also, but I find it very interesting to watch human nature, and how people are drawn to such a time of intense battle on a football field or basketball court. It’s much like a bar, what makes people so excited to go to such a dark and lonely place? Well, it’s HUMAN connection and community!

The Lord told us in Hebrews 10:25 not to forsake the assembly of ourselves together, as the manner “of some is”.. In 21st century manner, he is saying that we shouldn’t forsake the assembling of ourselves together for worship, for instruction and preaching, and yes finally FELLOWSHIP and community. So, I am not necessarily saying that God commands us to get together, eat chicken wings and watch the Superbowl, but maybe I am???? So long as we don’t forget to put things first and remember not only who it is we serve, but that we serve someone who makes it possible for these men/women on the court to have breath and strength enough to perform in their sport, so we can be entertained..

By the way, just so there is NO confusion here.. THE COLTS ARE GOING TO BE SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
