September 15, 2007

Good morning. It may not be autumn officially, but the temperature says that fall is ready anyway. A good cup of coffee really goes down well on a cool morning. The cat is generating some heat of his own today, tearing back and forth through the house. I still sound a bit froggy, but that ol' flu bug is going away. Praise the Lord for a new life in Him!

If you are a pro football fan, you are no doubt reeling in the news of a cheating scandal. Should this surprise us? Cheating in the win at all costs world of professional sports? Say it isn't so! You may sense a bit of sarcasm there, but I long ago gave up my illusions of professional athletes and coaches doing the right thing. Only in Jesus can we find the strength and courage to do the right thing, and even then we have our failures or slips. My only lament is that somewhere along the way we started paying too much money to athletes and the "game" part of sports has been lost. Many things are lost in this secular world. Why else would Jesus tell us to become as children again?

Worship the Lord!
