September 16, 2007

Good Sunday morning to you! Ahhh, our Nebraska team is most definitely not ready to play with the top-ranked teams. Last night's game served up a big dose of humble pie for Nebraska fans. Praise the Lord our life is not made any worse by a football team's loss or better by a win. It did make for a painful evening of college football though, and I did empathize with an obviously outmatched team of young men. If I can feel empathy for a team in this world, how much more does God empathize with us in the land of the dying? Jesus saw life from our point of view firsthand. He knows what we go through each and every day. Back in his day, they may not have had organized sports, but they did have one great evangelist! Jesus spread His gospel to thousands in person, and many more through the disciples and apostles; all the way down through the years to you and me!

I read an article in the paper this morning about a pair of young missionaries from Sidney. It is exciting to be able to support a mission effort so close to home. We all have a message of hope and joy to share; let's find our place in God's army to share that message!

God bless you all!
