Super Bowl Sunday

Giants

I was watching the game and playing with
my grandson during the commercial breaks.


Now, about the Super Bowl...

What a pleasent surprise! The sports "experts" had all but annointed the New England Patriots the 2008 Super Bowl Champs as far back as week 8 when they were still undefeated. Nobody gave the lowly fifth seeded New York Giants a puncher's chance to dethrone the "annointed kings." If you ask the "experts", the Giants were just one small obstacle to what "everybody knew" was the inevitable crowning of New England.

Well! It didn't quite turn out that way... New York and it's much criticized quarterback, Eli Manning, shocked the world (and the gamblers in Las Vegas) and did the unthinkable! They simply won. I love it when the "experts" are wrong... I love an upset and I always root for the underdog.

It's pleasant surprises like this one Sunday night, that make Monday mornings especially nice.

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: When unexpected trouble bursts unbidden and unwanted into my life, give me a patient heart and a sure sense of your care and love. Help me remember that even when life feels unfair, your presence still surrounds and sustains me. The knotted parts of my being are never outside the reach of your touch. Give me faith to surrender my need for fairness, knowing that even in chaos, the eye of heaven is still turned towards me. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
