Good morning and happy Monday. Well, the Super Bowl is over and the buzz is the last play called by the Seahawks. Pete Carroll isn't a dumb coach, and many today will disagree. He's been around football a long time. He made a decision based on few things that they saw on the field and went with it. On most days days and tries, that play scores or gets knocked down. I watched that replay and saw Malcolm Butler watching Russell's eyes. He knew it was coming. He reacted without hesitation and saved, not won, saved the game for his team. How many decisions do you think you make in a day? How many big decisions do you make in a day? How many life changing decisions maybe? We won't get them all right and we'll make most based on information we have or on past experience. And some people are gonna judge our choice and not have a clue one as to why. Pete Carroll owned up to and took all blame for making that call. Who's giving credit to a great play made by Malcolm Butler? What choices are you making that aren't helping team "you"? Why are you making them? Which ones are glorifying God? Everything we do is to be a reflection of and a pointer to God the Father. I own up to mine. I have several things I've done and will probably do others that aren't very good ideas. The world I live in will judge me to an extent but God is who I'm concerned about instead. Praise Him for His forgiveness and grace. Make your decisions based on Him and winning the big game of eternity. It's hard and doesn't seem to be the right call sometimes, but you know in your heart it is. He's there inside you dwelling within. Make the choice to follow Him and no matter what, it will be the right one. In love always. <><
