Super Bowl Post

By Ryan, February 3, 2008

If you watched the greatest Super Bowl ever, then you saw the amazing helmet catch by David Tyree. It was completely obvious that Tyree did the work to make the catch... Eli Manning did not run down the field and catch it for him. Manning did, however, give him the opportunity to make the play.

People tend to think that when we ask God for help, He’ll just do our work for us. But that’s not how God rolls. If you pray for patience, you won’t roll out of bed the next morning and say, “Wow! I feel patient!” Most likely, God will give you a chance to be patient. Note that this could mean being rear-ended in the parking lot. It could mean being broken up with. Heaven forbid, it could even mean getting stuck having to wait for six months for any activity on your favorite teenage Christian blog... with no apologies whatsoever.

Think about that the next time you pray for something and don’t get it. Maybe God’s plan wasn’t to keep you from having what you want, but rather to let you go and get what you want. If you don’t think your prayers are being answered, maybe you need to look for the ball. Chances are, it’s somewhere in the air behind you, and all you have to do is grab it and hold on. And the truth is, maybe the pass isn’t being thrown your way. But always be ready, because you never know when you’ll have the chance to make a huge catch on a proverbial 3rd-and-11.

I feel like I should be struck by lightning just for comparing Eli Manning to God.

 Kristin P:

lol... That was a good super bowl! Even tho i left at the 2nd half and played Gitaur Hero 3 With Lauren McKinley

 Ryan:

So now Hillary Clinton, being from New York, is saying that she’s hoping to catch some of the momentum from the Giants’ win. Yeah, because we all know that Romney would become president if New England had won.

 Kristin P:

lol The Giants gave me a scare... I laughed when they put the one second on the clock... I kept asking whats the point?
