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.

Times are tough
With so many people losing their jobs or need a second job to survive, are taking odd jobs of all sorts.I personally have been a soccer referee for about three years now. At first there were sufficient amount of games due to the number of registered or non registered referee's. Now the number of games assigned have reduced due to the increase in the number of referees. The level of need to constantly improve and move up in ranks is more apparent. People are doing more to hold on to their jobs.

How forgiving so much evil is helping me
For years every time I thought about how much pain and filth was created by my so called friend, by an old evil man, by their colleagues, and the fact that I got more involved in drug use due to not knowing what was happening to my life, it lit up up fumes within inside of me. The more these people were around the stranger things became, the more drinking and drug use became. Now I understand the facts of their intentions of human destruction through meticulous planning (constant visual surveillance)insuring one of their investments, being me.
These people believe in nothing but greed and power. Their actions and way of life speak for themselves. Regardless of how much money they stole ( extorted), how much of my life they broad-casted, what offers were made, how much pleasure I created for their empty souls, the amount of entertainment that kept their so called highly intellectual thought process occupied, means nothing to me. Through the Word of God I am learning to forgive and realize my weaknesses are creating strengths. It has never been about how good they are but what and howGod has chosen to direct my path. Through forgiveness I can live a better life

Technology can and is being used for invasion of privacy
In many destructive purposes. Someone like me who has many weaknesses when it comes to today's technology advancements becomes prime targets for people who are out to inflict pain in all sorts of avenues. For only a few dollars anyone can place a software program or a sim card and watch and listen to every thing you do, all the time.
I know that because I could see, read and watch my own life on the Internet. Every thing people do eventually leaves behind track marks or evidence.
The amazing thing is people could do whatever they want and believe that they superior to others by creating as many secrets as they want. But, there is Jesus Christ that does know every thing.

People that I know very well, have no fear of God
Friends, business partners, colleagues of mine, some respected by society some the odor of their filth trails them every where they exist, have found ways through people's trust, advancements in technology and the absolute absence of fear of God to manipulate, corrupt, extort money, perform scams at all costs. How I know that is because I lived through experiences associated with such people. The absence of God in their lives was taking a toll on my life as well as others around me.
The one thing that did save me from such evil was my faith in Jesus Christ. The so called friend told me God was trying to tell me something, after they had placed pages of the Bible in front of my office for a three month period. The so called scientist ( they will come together in the story ) would tell me that he did not believe in God but was a member of The Latter Day Saints ( He finds his victims from going door to door ).
Their method was to use the Bible and my faith to transition from the scam my friend performing with fraudulent mortgages and other things to a con-artist with a sad story and great potentials. These people even have used their grand-daughters to full fill their agenda. Every thing is documented through actual evidence. Imagine their judgement day.
