I read an article the other day about GOD'S role in sports. Now do I think that GOD has an interest in who wins the Superbowl or any other game for that matter? No. But I do believe that GOD has an interest in those involved in the game. Kurt Warner and the St. Louis Cardinals ( I still won't call them the Arizona Cardinals, have you ever seen a cardinal in Arizona?) are going to the Super Bowl. Now Kurt does not make any bones about his faith and his trust in GOD but a lot of people make an issue of it. They like to say that GOD guides his passes, that GOD moves that blitzing defensive end a little further out so he can't be sacked. But I really believe that the only thing GOD is contributing is in the makeup of Kurt Warner himself. You see, Kurt believes, and believing is a big part of succeeding in sports and life. Kurt believes that if you prepare, study, work hard and do your best that GOD will bless it. I agree with him, he does not promise us everything if we don't do our part, but he does promise us that when we do things according to his commands that we will see the blessings in our lives. People say that making a Super Bowl is GOD's way of blessing Kurt Warner. Let me put it this way, without ever making the Super Bowl GOD has still blessed Kurt Warner. He has a job that many would kill for, making a ton of money playing a kid's game. He has a wife that has stood beside him when he was a failure and got cut from the Packers, who stood beside him when he said he wanted to play Arena ball in Iowa, and who stood beside him as he was bagging groceries at the HyVee when everything did not work out. He has already been blessed of GOD, beyond what we all and he probably deserves. Kurt Warner is in the Super Bowl because he worked hard, got some breaks and mainly because Kurt BELIEVED that he could make it to the big game.
You go Kurt, I am cheering for you.
