In our culture pro sports are largely about overpaid, arrogant guys who are out for themselves and their fame. But that's not true with everyone.
I'm not necessarily a Packers fan but I'm a big Brett Favre fan. He's from a different mold. He played the game of football with the same passion that God calls us to live life. He showed up every day (started a record 275 straight games!), didn't whine about his contract, made everybody around him better, and emanated a sense of joy and excitement about life.
Today Favre retired. I pray that when I retire some day people will be able to say that I lived life for God with the kind of passion that Brett Favre played football.
How about you?
