The Saints are in the Super Bowl ?
The Saints in the Super Bowl is an event that I thought would not happen in my lifetime. It still sounds a bit far-fetched to my ears. The hapless old New Orleans Saints are no more. They’re now the Champions of the NFC and have earned a spot in the greatest show on Earth. Big things happen in the most unexpected places.
Our living room was full of McAllisters and friends last Sunday night for the big game versus the Minnesota Vikings. We were hoping for an easy win but got just the opposite. A nail biter. I almost had a heart attack. The final drive in the Fourth quarter by Bret and Company looked like it would dash our hopes. I had all but given up. And then it happened. The interception. Overtime. The forty yard field-goal. The biggest win in franchise history. We danced around our living room in utter disbelief. Sheer joy. Madness. The Saints are in the Super Bowl.
There are (were) two events that I’ve been waiting for most of my life. 1. For the Saints to make it to a Super Bowl. 2. For Jesus to come back.
2010 is off to a good start. One down, one to go. Come on Jesus.
I believe in Destiny!
Hi Pastor Doug! It really is unbelievable! It is still soaking in on me that they are FINALLY going to the “Big Thang”, the “Big Show”, the SUPER BOWL! I enjoyed hearing recently that Drew Brees is a Christian. He said he believes it is really in God’s plan for the Saints to have won all the game they did this season. It is their destiny. I believe that. After being a die-hard Saints fan for about 30 years now, since I was 8, I’m loving it now! What a season! What a team! What a dream come true! Now they will go to Miami and beat those Colts and WIN THE SUPER BOWL! I can’t wait to watch it all at the Super Bowl Day at Journey Fellowship Church!
