Reflections From Sunday Evening

Chiefs win!  Yeah! Great!
Mahomes injured. 😭
It is another reminder that in sports things are never as great as they seem in good times...nor as bad as they seem when things go wrong.
For long time Chiefs fans, we remember Super Bowl I. Loss.
We also remember Super Bowl IV. Win!
Point to consider. In 1969 quarterback Len Dawson was injured in the second game of the year. Back-up Mike Livingston led the team through a six game stretch. End result. Dawson came back and the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.
We have been waiting patiently for 50 years to return to the championship game.
Could history repeat? ( That’s another thing about sports. A strange mixture of eternal optimism and complete skepticism.)
But shift your thoughts. For us, sports are diversion. For Christians the real life is the spiritual life. Good times and bad times do not necessarily matter. With Jesus all times are graced times.
It’s been a good day. I hope you’ve had a good day too.
Steve
