Ancient Words of Wisdom Proclaimed by College Quarterback

Our youngest son and I stayed up late last night for a second night in a row to watch one of the best college football games I've ever seen.  Ohio State and Clemson played in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona in a semifinal matchup of two undefeated teams.  Our son found a way to live stream the game through his laptop since we are now a cable-free household.  For me, the biggest highlight was watching the post-game interview with Clemson's quarterback.  He boldly proclaimed a verse I hadn't heard before from Ephesians 3:20, Now to him is who able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.

One of the biggest reasons I cut my cable was to free myself of all that negativity that's spewing on the airwaves.  What a joy it is to have two nights in a row of great entertainment from college football.  Two nights ago it was our local team who lifted my spirits by waving to the patients at our hospital in Iowa City.  During home games, these patients gather together on the 12th floor of the hospital to cheer for our beloved Hawkeyes.  Players, fans and even opponents pause at the end of the first quarter to wave to these kids.  The kids got a special wave from afar during the Holiday Bowl played in San Diego.  Our family enjoyed many seasons of great football and baseball in that city before moving away.  Sadly, the San Diego Chargers also left when the team owner decided to relocate.  Football fans in the area suffering from withdrawals got to see something really special when two out-of-town teams injected new life into "America's finest city."

Check out the YouTube video below for the interview with Clemson's coach and his players.  Have a great day.
