God has handed YOU the football! Are you ready to play??

Church was great today! They were ready for the Superbowl just as planned! The whole auditorium was decorated with pictures of both teams. The congregation was all decked out in their red or yellow depending on the team they rooted for. And the sermon was great!
It started out with the band playing the very famous Hank Williams Jr. song, "Are you ready for some football?" Then Hud, our Pastor, got down to business. He explained life being like a football game. There is the pregame, halftime, and post game. We are currently all at half time. In so many words its time to go back to the locker room and see what all we've accomplished the first part of the game. And to decide how we're going to live our life out for the remainder of the game. And then their is the post game. That is when it is time to party!! I really liked this verse out of Luke. "I tell you there is more joy in heaven over one sinner who changes his heart and life, than over ninety-nine good people who don't need to change." Luke 15:7 If you are the winner in the game of life then you have a reason to party because you will be spending the rest of your life with the crown that will last forever!!

Also on a side note and to follow up on a few other blogs I've written about. Today was the due date for the Baby Bottle Boomerang. Aaron and I saved our change for the last three weeks and were very happy to know that we were putting $21 in our baby bottle.

Also today was the volunteer fair. Aaron has now signed up to help be a parking attendant and I got a little carried away and signed up for the Information Center, a Greeter, and the Common Grounds Cafe.... I think at some point I may be a little busy. :)

  1. Jessica, In a way you are playing football. You decided to start going to church, you caught the ball and ran with it. Touch down!!!! you are a winner. I really do admire you. Not just for going to church but for who you are and how you view life. I feel like everyone should try to live their life like Jesus lived His. We could never live up to Him but I see God in you and your actions. And that is something to look up to.
