At lunch today: Ed: Let's pray. "Lord, thank you for (continues with prayer) . . . (then) and as we always pray, be with the Dawgs today and help them win . . .(continues with prayer). Amen" Me: 'As we always pray'? I didn't realize we always pray that. Ed: Oh, we do. Plus, God is a Dawg anyway. Me: Oh, really? So if you say your prayers, live a good life, when you (cut off in mid-sentence) Ed: die you go to Athens! Everybody knows that. God's a Dawg fan. Me: Oh my. https://www.instagram.com/p/CU1AevqAr2Ce7Pa2KLpOQA2YIQK5NQl7_NQHJA0/?utm_medium=tumblr

C. S. Lewis On God It is always shocking to meet life where we thought we were alone. “Look out!” we cry, “it’s alive.” And therefore this is the very point at which so many draw back—I would have done so myself if I could—and proceed no further with Christianity. An “impersonal God”—well and good. A subjective God of beauty, truth and goodness, inside our own heads—better still. A formless life- force surging through us, a vast power which we can tap—best of all. But God Himself, alive, pulling at the other end of the cord, perhaps approaching at an infinite speed, the hunter, king, husband—that is quite another matter. There comes a moment when the children who have been playing at burglars hush suddenly: was that a real footstep in the hall? There comes a moment when people who have been dabbling in religion (“Man’s search for God”!) suddenly draw back. Supposing we really found Him? We never meant it to come to that! Worse still, supposing He had found us! From Miracles Compiled in Words to Live By Miracles: A Preliminary Study. Copyright 1947 C. S. Lewis Pte. Ltd. Copyright renewed © 1947 C. S. Lewis Pte. Ltd.

BIG MISTAKE Read Mark 14:66-72. Peter remembered Jesus had said to him, “Three times you will say you don’t know me.” Peter cried. The Bulldogs got a star football player because some coaches made...

Celebration Time Read Luke 15:1-10. “There is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents” (v. 10). We’ll celebrate later.” So declared Victoria Dunlap before the 2011 NCAA Tournament. And so the Wildcats did. Dunlap capped off her storied collegiate career in 2011 by becoming the first UK women’s player ever taken in the first round of the WNBA. A 6-foot-1 forward, Dunlap was twice the SEC Player of the Year. She is Kentucky’s second-leading scorer with 1,846 points, behind only Valerie Still. She is the first player in UK history with...To Continue> http://die-hardfans.com/causonfa1.html #kentucky #collegesports #gocats #uky #collegebasketball #gobigblue #weareuk #bbn #extrapointpublishers #gogod #ncaa #sec #dailydevotion #dailydevotionsfordiehardfans https://www.instagram.com/p/CGnTUw4gim6/?igshid=qjkkidel2ok2

TOP SECRET Read Romans 2:1-16. “This will take place on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares” (v. 16). A&M’s new head football coach had a deep, dark secret, one so awful that its revelation required he be court-martialed. Chris “Red” Cagle was a three-time All-America at West Point and the ...To Continue> http://die-hardfans.com/causonfa1.html #mississippistate #gobulldogs #msu #collegesports #sec #collegefootball #ncaa #dailydevotion #gogod #extrapointpublishers #dailydevotionsfordiehardfans #hailstate #weringtrue (at Christiansburg, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6WZUJgexi/?igshid=267df9meccd6

HOW WE LEAVE Read 2 Kings 2:1-12. “A chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind” (v. 11). When Boston College administrators wouldn’t let him leave for Notre Dame, Frank Leahy took matters into his own hands. Depending on your perspective, Leahy was either a defector or a savior in 1941. His “contentious decision” to leave Boston College and...To Continue> http://die-hardfans.com/causonfa1.html #notredame #fightingirish #ncaa #dailydevotion #collegesports #collegefootball #gogod #courage #extrapointpublishers #goirish #womensbasketball #dailydevotionsfordiehardfans (at Christiansburg, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCtGlv-gD3R/?igshid=171b0l7kv9nyw

ON CALL Read 1 Samuel 3:1-18. “The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’ Then Samuel said, ‘Speak, for your servant is listening’” (v. 10). Taylor Sokolosky heard the call. When he answered it, he became one of the unlikeliest Oklahoma State football players ever.

JUST PERFECT Read Matthew 5:43-48. “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (v. 48). The notion of a football team playing a perfect game is downright ludicrous. Consider if you will, however, Nebraska’s game against Colorado in 1995.

STRANGE BUT TRUE Read Philippians 2:1-11. “And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death -- even death on a cross!” (v. 7) Strange but true: Ohio State once won a football game with some of the Buckeye players standing on...To Continue> http://die-hardfans.com/causonfa1.html #ohiostate #collegesports #osu #buckeyes #dailydevotion a#gogod #buckeyenation #extrapointpublishers #gobuckeyes #big10 #dailydevotionsfordiehardfans #ncaa #collegebasketball #womensbasketball (at Christiansburg, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBA4kIDAvdm/?igshid=ifv4mlm5g9h

ANSWERING THE CALL Read 1 Samuel 3:1-18. “The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’ Then Samuel said, ‘Speak, for your servant is listening’” (v. 10).
