On Wings of Eagles

I have not written much about sports lately. Quite frankly much of it has been boring. But here are some of my thoughts:

 GOOD

The Cowboys are something else. It is becoming quite clear that in the NFC the path to the Super Bowl is going through Dallas once again. Romo is one of the most exciting players I have seen in a very long time, and his supporting cast is top notch. To top that off it looks like Glenn will be back for the playoffs. With his speed and Owens physical dominance we are going to have quite a dominant receiving core.

BAD

The Atlanta Falcons have fallen apart. I would have said at the seams but they don’t have any left. While their position as my bad team in Pablo’s football pool (sorry Triton) is good for me it brings me to the real bad part of the bad. Their coach has left to lead my beloved Razorbacks. One sports writer called him the "Disingenuous Drifter". We have replaced one coach with an honesty problem with another. What blue chip star athlete is going to want to play for him when he has a bunch of other better more honest choices?

UGLY

The steroid mess in Major League Baseball. This makes me glad that I could care less about the MLB. As a sport it is going down the tubes. They had many opportunities to get their ship righted yet continued to deny that it was even listing in the first place. Now they are on the verge of capsizing and I think the average sports fan could care less. Good riddance.

This is something that has bothered me for some time. Why are we so willing to throw other followers of Yeshua under the bus when they do not agree with our preconceived notions? Music is one of those areas that just boggles my mind. That is combined with our notions of how Yeshua’s love for us is perceived. The other day Birdie sent me a link to an article by a guy who thought that modern music was essentially no different than effeminate secular love songs. To assert his point he took singular lines from three Christian songs and three secular songs and asked if we could tell the difference. Of course you could not, they were handpicked to make his point. This kind of selective tearing down really bothers me. Why do we do it?

He seemed to look at His love through one lens. I think that if you look at His Word you will find that there are many facets to His love. I think that some are opening their eyes to that and singing and talking about it. Others see it as heresy, because it challenges their preconceptions. I think we need to open our hearts and minds to see that His love is far greater than what we could ever truly understand. So why do we limit Him?
