Heartbreak

Wow, what a game last night! My emotions are totally spent. As I was watching the game it felt reminiscent to me of the final game of the World Series playoffs when the Diamondbacks were playing the Yankees. You almost couldn't watch but you couldn't not watch either. Unfortunately, the Superbowl didn't end quite as well as the World Series. After the world series I couldn't sleep because of the excitement of the win. Last night I couldn't sleep because of the disappointment of the loss.

I know,"it's just sports" they tell me. But it is so easy to get wrapped up in it. It becomes personal. In a way, I'm glad it does. There aren't very many things we get passionate about anymore. There aren't very many things that people rally around anymore. For a couple of weeks, Arizona rallied together. We had a common bond; be it ever so trite. Maybe there will be a day when we rally around something a little more spiritual. Maybe someday there will be a cause, a Christian movement, an event that, rather than divide, brings all of Arizona together and causes the same kind of good will, support and determination that the Superbowl brought us this year.
