Can you imagine what it must be like for Archie Manning this week? (For the 2 or 3 people left in the world who don't know why this name is important this week, go to any sports website and search for Archie Manning).
The conflicting emotions of seeing the team you gave basically your entire career to, not to mention a great deal of your retirement, finally in the big game, and not being able to pull for them because they happen to be competing against your boy.
In the long run, it's pretty trivial, all the stuff about any football game. But let's take a moment to sympathize with Archie and look at a bigger picture question: When push comes to shove, where do our loyalties lie?
In a much more important realm than picking sides of a football game, we have a similar conflict - where is our heart?
Christ our Lord demands complete obedience. Do we give it to him?
See you Sunday!
