Baseball season is here. BOARING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One hundred sixty three games each team. There are thirty teams in the league. That equals to four thousand eight hundred and ninety games. Average is around three hours per game. That comes out to fourteen thousand six hundred and seventy hours. That does not include the pre-season or the play-offs. Now take the time that is spent during the days leading up to the game, before the game, after the game and then shows following the game.
I wish I would have spent more of my time learning about the teachings of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Do not get me wrong, I like sports quite a bit, but i have chosen to make my faith the main priority. In the past and present I have participated in high numbers of games as a player as well as a referee. Now I understand how sports influence and occupy the mind away from God, away from family, away from learning.

Sports and ESPN

How much emphasis on sports and the lives of the athletes. ESPN is intentionally creating stories and blowing them way out of proportion. It's amazing how the smallest story gets so much coverage and TV time.  I truly believe that the coverage of sports has systematically reduced the attendance of the male from the church.
When watching sports , remind your self that you are watching a bunch of millionaires playing a sport. It must be a great feeling for them. But the beauty to that is the first action players take once they have accomplished their purpose on the field is to give praise to the LORD.
