A Sad Day for Football

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?
