for the love of the game?

a non-spiritual passion of mine is sports.  all of them.  i love playing, watching or just talking sports.  i guess i don't really know why but i just always have.

tennis is hands down my favorite sport.  the skill, the strategy, and the fitness are so challenging.  my dad taught me how to play when i was just a little fella.  many nights after family dinner he and i would grab our rackets and go play a couple sets. i really miss playing competitive tennis.  does anyone know some good tennis players? 

last night tara and i went to the t-wolves home opener with some great new friends from our small group, shawn and ashleigh leege.  we had a great time talking about life even though the wolves lost.

this morning i got up and played a couple hours of flag football with another good friend i met through the mens basketball small group.

tomorrow after church we will probably get together with the in-laws and watch a little nfl football.

sports sound non-spiritual on the surface but when i think about it, sports have a unique unifying effect that gives friends and family a reason to come together.  i guess food has the same kind of affect on people but i don't like food as much, unless you are talking about pf changs and that is a whole other blog.

Hey Justin, you got a link on Pastor Rob's blog page. You realize that means you have to blog often, don't you. You can't be like Pastor Joe and only blog once every few months.
