glorious super bowl

i really wanted the cardinals to win the super bowl. i cheered hard, i was into the game, and i really enjoyed it. it made me miss watching my dallas cowboys and i can't wait until next football season. it really was a great game, and a memory i will have for a while. but during it i had a moment of, "what is the importance of this, why do i care about this, wait, what does anything matter?" but now, since i've got my brain going a little bit, i realized how it brought so many people together in a time of shared experience. we talked, laughed, yelled, ate, drank, and enjoyed each other's company. everything is around for a reason and a part of God's plan. and because i know everything God creates is good, it means that satan, sin, and flesh only turn things evil. so yes, football, a silly game, can ruin lives - gambling, heavy drinking, depression, laziness, etc. - but maybe used as God intended in His plan, it brings people together and a little bit of God's glory shines. perfect example - i enjoyed the game with friends, and now i've just reflected on God because of it, or Him in it. see? God is awesome!
