Cubs Fans

Brent took Tyler on a sports trip before school started in August this year for his 13th birthday. One of the stops on their journey to manhood trip was to Wrigley Field for a Cubs game. Cubs fans are special. They believe things that are not there and are hopeful for the future at all times! It really is easier to believe that a sports team can make it to the play offs than I can make it through the end of the week. I am always amazed at the ability we have to bond with objects that are fantasy and impersonal over reality and those closest to us!

God loves the reality of us each and every day. I am amazed that he knows every part of me and still wants the best for me even when I mess everything up! I think God must be the all-time Cubs fan. No matter what I do he is there rooting for me to make it to the World Series of my life and when I fail he is there saying, "There is always next season!"

Psalm 73:25-26

" Whom have I in heaven but you?

I desire you more than anything on earth.

My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,

but God remains the strength of my heart;

he is mine forever."
