Good Friday morning! Does anyone want to stand up and take one for the team? Apparently not. I read about the troubles some NFL teams have over getting players in under the salary cap. How does one manage to get so many multi-millionaires on the team with that dratted salary cap? The good news for them is that the cap expires next year. Woohoo! Free to spend the lot! By the way, these same teams are laying off folks who earn closer to what you make so that the team can "make ends meet" in this tough economy. Am I the only one who cannot make sense of that? Perhaps we should give that some thought before watching those sports events on television or buying tickets to those games? Just a thought to start the weekend, and don't think that football is the only professional sport doing that. Give me some good news; has anyone heard of a group of professional athletes, coaches, or owners giving up some of their loot to save jobs at their organization?
Better news for you and me! Jesus is Lord. We may have righteous anger over things that happen in this world, but Jesus rose from the dead and lives to save us! How great is that? We live in a world stained by sin, and every day the stain seems to become more apparent. However, we know the final result... Jesus wins! When I feel the unfairness in this world deep in my emotional guts, I remember how unfair it was that Jesus suffered a criminal's death for my sins and your sins. We can live with Jesus because He loved us enough to submit to something very unfair. Yes, the world has some real problems, but the world can also turn to a real savior in Jesus Christ!
Have a wonderful weekend in Christ!
