Well, the brackets are in - let the basketball games begin! Millions of dollars are spent/invested/lost on this basketball tournament. Emotions run high. Lives are rearranged to accommodate travel plans. Next month the NFL Draft will consume us.
Allllllll in the name of sports.
Did you ever wonder if those athletes stressed so much about your job?!?! Can you just imagine it? Accountant Madness: Which Accountant will survive this year's tax season without needing intervention? Sales Draft: Which rep will be chosen by which business? Stay tuned for the final results at your local car dealer!
I get it - it's fun to be distracted by reality TV and sports. It's a step away from the stresses of our daily situations. But let's not forget the reality of the lives that God has given to each one of us. Do you feel the stress of your coworker? Do you feel heartbroken when your family member has a losing streak? Do you celebrate when someone at the store or restaurant does their job well?
Before your blood pressure soars about a stranger, let's remember to love our neighbors well.
" I, therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love" Ephesians 4:1,2
