Cowboys 38, Sooners 28

By Ryan, December 13, 2006

Ahh, one of* the greatest Christmas movies of all time.

In church today, we watched a scene from the movie Elf. The scene we watched depicted Will Ferrell’s character, “Buddy,” inside a New York City store preparing for Christmas. When Buddy hears word that Santa is coming to visit the store, he gets extremely excited. He knows the real Santa personally, so he can’t help but tell everyone how overjoyed he is to see him again.

Hold up, wait a minute, put a little tie-into-Christianity in it!

This man was absolutely nuts about seeing Santa! He was jump-up-and-down-and-scream crazy!

The only time I’ve ever gone that insane was in 7^th grade, when my belovéd Oklahoma State Cowboys downed the OU Sooners 38-28. Let me tell you, I was a nut job during that game, especially when OSU jumped ahead 35-6. Following the game, I danced in the street in front of my uncle’s house, spiking my football and shouting the final score for almost an hour.

The mention of the name Jesus does not incite these reactions anymore... if it ever did. He’s the greatest person ever to walk this sorry Earth... and He’s coming back again one day, possibly in my lifetime! This is more exciting than seeing Santa or watching Oklahoma State Cowboy domiNation. My youth minister’s wish seems to be that we will have as good of a relationship with God as Buddy did with Santa Claus and as I do with the stinkingest football team in the Big 12 (besides Baylor). When we think of Jesus’s second coming, we need to prepare.

The time to prepare has come.
