Week 52 2013 Post-Season Football

It is amazing how many bowl games are played when the season is over.  I have such a difficult time trying to keep up with college games throughout the season, and then post-season comes with its bowl games.  Add to that the NFL play-off games leading to the Superbowl.  Oh, excuse me, the “big game.”  It seems that just because the season is over, we aren’t ready to let it end.  It’s all good, because I love football, and I’m sure that other fans would echo that sentiment.

I wonder, is there anything else we are just not ready to let go of?  Oh sure, we aren’t ready to let go of our loved ones when they come to the end of their lives.  There are probably a lot of books, movies, and songs we would like to extend.  What about those things devoted to the Lord?

What if we found worship to be so enjoyable we weren’t ready to let it end?  How would the world look if we enjoyed serving at a soup line so much we extended our agreement regularly?  If our love for our fellows was so deep we just couldn’t wait to express it in tangible ways, how exciting would that be?

As we begin another year, let me offer a new year’s resolution that would be sure to make 2014 better than any other year.  Let’s resolve to show love for everyone, regardless of who they are or whether they reciprocate that love.
