Orange Power

By Ryan, August 22, 2006

I’m decking out in Oklahoma State clothing for Sports Night at my church. We’re doing a thing called Madhouse, which is a 4-week thing with a whole bunch of activities and a different theme each week... and this week is Sports Week, where we wear our favorite team clothing. And guess who my favorite team is!! OSU!! Luckily, I am not short at all on OSU clothes... come to think of it, I don’t think I ever have been. And that makes me wonder about my priorities in life... which do I care more about, OSU or God? I’m not some kind of professional statistical informational dude or whatever, but I can safely say that if I devoted nearly as much of my life to Jesus as I did to OSU, I’d have more Scripture memorized than most top preachers. Shoot, I have statistics about former OSU players that most people don’t have any interest in whatsoever. For example, did you know that in 2002, Josh Fields threw for over 3,000 yards? Did you know that in 2003, Rashaun Woods set an all-time NCAA® record by receiving 7 touchdown passes against SMU? Or that Tatum Bell was the fifth OSU player to lead the nation in Heisman® voting at one point in a season? I bet not. I wish I could remember my Bible as well as I remember former Cowboys that threw it away after graduation! Let me tell you, I would be the ultimate Christian teenager!

I hope you’re not concluding that I think OSU is evil, because they most certainly are not. What I’m saying is that, as people, we need to stop “trying to find time for God” and instead make everything else work around God. That’s this post in a nutshell.

Until next time, GO POKES!!
