God Won SuperBowl XLI

Way to go Colts! Now, most of you know I am by NO MEANS a big sports fan and my husband drives me crazy with all of his sports nonsense. However, last night was a good sports night. Like many women, it's all about the backstories for me. If I hear a "feel-good" story about a coach or a player in any sport, my curiosity is heightened and I tend to pay attention. And so it is with the Colts. I actually have always liked the Colts, not because of Peyton Manning, but because of Hunter Smith their punter. I grew up going to Iron Springs Christian Camp with him and he is really an awesome guy. Even in high school, he gave up playing in the All-American game to come to camp and be a counselor. At Notre Dame he started a bible study that began with 2 people and then grew in his 4 years there into a huge success. Don't get me wrong, I am not his best friend by any means, I have just always wanted his team to do well since he is such a good guy.

But last night I was blown away by Tony Dungy's winning remarks! If you didn't hear it, find it on the internet and listen to his whole speech. There has been so much talk about having 2 African-American coaches in the SuperBowl this year and he said that yes, that was a wonderful thing for our country to have 2 AA coaches there but most importantly he was most proud of having 2 CHRISTIAN coaches at the SuperBowl and the Lord gave him this oportunity. It was such a great speech! He said that the Lord gives you hardships and brings you out in His time and gave God all the credit and glory! It was awesome and so in my highly professional sports opinion...God won SuperBowl XLI!!
