Thank you. Usually, when I post that quotation in response to some news about a sports figure or team, I get attacked by the Freepers who are sports fans.
I am man of God first, and God has no home team favorite in sports.
My guess would be, that if there were a graduation rank in percentages of the members of any certain job or trade, well I do believe that sports heroes would have a percentage of members making it to heaven that would rival that of politicians and media personal.
I am a die hard Viking who bleeds purple, but if Christ came when I was watching my Vikings, and they were down by four points with 2 seconds left in the Superbowl with the ball on the goal line with the ball, guess what?
I would walk away gladly and follow my Lord.
