I threw this following comment onto Facebook knowing it was too long to fit in a post so it would be converted to a note and some of it would be cut off and only viewable if clicked on.
Can't we just skip Wednesday and wake up to Thursday and the dawning of a new season. Wednesdays are pretty much useless anyway. Really it's probably embarrassed by the whole Hump Day name anyways. So I'm proposing that once a year we should skip it. (that was the part you could see) The NFL can't kick off soon enough...I had that at the beginning but I figured some would have rolled their eyes and skipped my epic hump day football post so I rearranged it to suck you in to think it was about something meaningless like what I ate or was watching on reality TV. Sorry none of that here...just thinking about football. You can roll your eyes now.
I posted that because right now every fan of every NFL team has hope because they are all undefeated and in their mind have a chance to win the Superbowl and they haven't even done anything on the field yet. Also because I'm appalled at the number of people I see complaining and obsessing over garbage TV like; Hoarders, Jersey Shore, Toddlers and Tiaras, Teen Mom and way too many others to fit here. Of which I am proud to say I have never watched an episode of. But I have a tip if you get so mad over watching it.....don't watch it. Period. Ok back to the regularly scheduled post.
We are all pretty much in that same boat. We haven't done anything to deserve to win but we are already guaranteed victory. That's pretty amazing especially if we honestly take a moment and just look at our actions & thoughts of today during our commute, at work and then at home tonight. I'm sure we'd all have a couple unsportsmanlike conduct penalties tossed our way. Now expand that to week, a month a year and if you're like me you've forgotten where you put your keys 5 minutes ago so even trying to fathom what we've done in our lifetime is pretty much out of the question. Just imagine the fines we'd be accumulating during those times if we were governed by the NFL's conduct policy. And come to find out the League doesn't let someone else pay your fines. Just ask Chad Ochocinco.
Luckily we have a God of grace and mercy who has already paid off our fines long before we ever even thought of screwing up. Not too mention He is willing to forgive and forget our mistakes each and every time...each and every one. Crazy to think this was all this done on his own accord without our asking. Now it's up to us what we decide do with this opportunity. So let us reflect this love onto others that we've been so graciously had bestowed upon us. Be that light in a world that is obsessed with sports, that hangs on every celebrities move and that has taken for granted the gifts and talents, both big and small, that we have been given to share with others. Give others Hope when they feel that it has all been lost.
Oh yeah and go Eagles!
