The Red River Rivalry was a rout for the third straight year
and then Jeter breaks his ankle in the Yankees loss to Detroit making for a sad
day in the Heinze household. It’s enough to make me stay in bed this morning
but that’s not an option for the preacher on Sunday. So I think I’ll use the
words of the prophet to say something about the arrogant and the psalm about learning
to number your days because you never know when diving for a ground ball will end
your post season play. I could also point out from the Hebrews lesson that the
Lord sympathizes with losers. And maybe the rich young man’s question “what
must I do to be saved?” could apply to the Longhorn’s season. But I think
instead I’ll preach the Good News that God is bigger than our rivalries and
more important than any game – of course, I’m still going to pray we beat Oklahoma
next year.
