Yesterday I asked some tough questions about this blog and my motivation.  I received some good feedback and I’m still processing my thoughts.  In the meantime, my gut tells me to be myself here and trust God to take care of the rest.

So with that in mind, I wanted to share a video that I just cannot believe.  As many of you know, I’m a huge Gamecock fan.  I was at the game this weekend and didn’t really notice this play, but it’s now recieved national attention.  

So take a look.  Accident or was the ref relieving some glory days?  

I report, you decide . . .

I just read an interesting article on a rainy afternoon here in Myrtle Beach that I wanted to share with you.  Brett Favre, the long-time QB of the Green Bay Packers, announced his retirement from the game this spring.  Now, with training camp approaching, Brett is considering a return to the game he’s played his entire life.

His team, the Packers, are now stuck with a grim situation.  They’ve moved on, grooming Aaron Rogers to take over for Brett as their starting QB.  If Brett returns, not only do they owe him over $12 million, but they will probably alienate their QB of the future as well, all for Brett to play another year or two.  Their other options are to either trade the Hall of Fame QB or release him outright.

Read the Peter King article and let me know what you think.  King seems to believe that Favre is to blame here and should take whatever Green Bay offers him.  I think I disagree.  Favre has earned the right to decide his own fate, especially given the story that King tells at the end of article about the Packers talking Brett into returning in 2006.

Why is all this important? In the grand scheme of things, it’s not, really.  

I do find it interesting though.  Loyalty is such a fleeting trait today.  Here’s a guy who has been the face of their franchise for over a decade, one of the greatest QBs ever to play the game, and by all accounts a guy that genuinely loves the city of Green Bay yet there seems to be no loyalty on the part of the Packers.  In fact, they seem to have pushed him out this spring, according to the article, even after he led their team to the NFC Championship game.  It’s all about what’s next and what else can you do for me.   

It just baffles me and pushes me to always strive to be loyal to those that were there from the beginning, those that have made a difference in my life and will probably never get they credit they deserve for what they did.  I hope that I never forget my roots and the people that God has used along the way to make me who I am.  

I think the Packers may have forgotten that point, I hope I never do.  What do you think?

I love golf.  I love to play golf, even though I am terrible, and I LOVE to watch the Majors on TV every year.  This year’s US Open has been awesome.  Below is a video of Tiger Woods putting in for birdie to tie Rocco Mediate and force an 18-hole playoff today.

Watch the crowd react when the put goes in, it’s just amazing.  It made me wonder, when’s the last time we got that excited about anything that God is doing in our lives?  When’s the last time we got that excited at church?  

I pray that God uses me in Myrtle Beach to start a church where the things happening week in and week out will have people that stoked.

And one last note, don’t ever tell me that people that don’t often attend church are “weirded out” by people worshipping.  Everyone of those fans had their hands raised and were screaming as loud as they could.  They were worshipping.  Our job is to teach those people about THE ONE that is worthy of that worship.

End of sermon.  Tiger and Rocco tee-off at noon eastern time on ESPN!
