The Wild World of Sports

So Brett is back again!! I of course am very excited even though he will be donning purple threads instead of green. Thats alright, I'd rather see him a Viking than not see him playing at all. Also, Michael Vick is back in the mix as an Eagle. I am really indifferent on this decision, but I did find something that I thought was really amazing out of this story.

Donovan McNabb, who has a squeaky clean image in the NFL stuck out his neck for Vick. Vick is a guy that is widely regarded as nothing but trouble. I thought to myself why in the world would Vick ruin his good name for a guy like that. Then it dawned on me that is exactly what Jesus did for me on a much much larger scale! It's hard to picture myself as the Vick of the story, but that's exactly what I am. Just like McNabb, Jesus didnt have to stick out his neck but he did. Because of that reason I have the chance to get to somewhere that is much greater than the Super Bowl....I get the chance to live in Heaven. So even though I very much dislike the Eagles, this year my hat's off to Mr. McNabb, hopefully Vick will prove you didnt stick your neck out for no reason.

My mind is so weird. I am thoroughly convinced that only I could figure out a way to pull out a biblical application from the craziness that is this NFL season. I think about football way too much.
