as i think about that request, that i desire in some way, for my life to be used to see God's will done on earth as it is in heaven, for my life to be used in someway for the kingdom to become someone's reality...i'm overcome with its largeness. this is a very large request, and my eyes have to be fixed on Christ, not on a seventh trophy (i say this as i have two tabs open on my browser as well as this one that talk about the Steelers win). if i'm spending the next two weeks getting into the Super Bowl hype, i wonder if i'll miss the opportunity to be the one hyping something greater. we were joking Saturday with close friends Nike and Herman, as well as last night at the gathering with Karl, Carrie, Heather and Jean...that Mandy has become a Steelers fan if for no other reason that she hates to be around me if the Steelers lose. we all had a great laugh about that and i wore it almost like a badge of honor...look at me, i am a true fan. i love my team so much that my entire emotional life and body chemistry is affected by a win or a loss...
as much as i love my Steelers...and my newly decorated living room can prove that...i want my life to be a witness to the kingdom. i hope this is seen for what it is, my confession. my confession that in the midst of all that God is doing in my life and in my neighborhood that i can easily get caught up in a game in such a way that i become blinded to what God desires for and from me. and of these things i repent...
