The NFL Playoffs!

I don’t know about you, but every year I enjoy the NFL playoffs.  My team has never made it to the Super Bowl; please forgive me, but I am a Browns fan, yet I find someone to root for. The lure for me is not the underdog or even the favorite, but character. I like to find a player or coach that is a man of genuine integrity and root for that team. So I have found myself rooting for Drew Brees, Tony Dungy, Curt Warner and their teams in the absence of the Browns the past few years.

What do you look for?

God looks for this: Micah 6:8 “And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”  In 1Timothy 6, Paul admonishes young Timothy this way “But you, O man of God, flee these things (the love of money) and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.”  It is my fear that if we, as adults, are not looking for and cheering for people of integrity that our children and grandchildren accept less in who they root for as well.

So come on Colt McCoy and Peyton Hillus please continue to pursue the right things! (and win a few more games along the wayJ)
