football season

Football season is getting ready to start. It is always an exciting time, just as it is when baseball season starts. That is because at the beginning of the season everyone is in first place. But if you live in Kansas City, you are used to being let down. Every year we hope that the Royals and Chiefs are going to get something going, and every year it seems that we end up in the cellar. Many are discouraged by this, some people get down right mad.

Maybe we are putting our hope in the wrong things. Maybe we are placing our joy in things that cannot satisfy. As we flit around chasing completion in cars, homes, clothes and victory, someone is out there, still waiting.

A car is only a car. A home is only a home. A first place team doesn't last very long. Only Jesus can satisfy your soul.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
