I am a HUGE sports fan, especially when it comes to my home teams (Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Indians, and Ohio State Buckeyes). But the other night I noticed in a particularly anguishing Indians loss, that I got so worked up by the game that I couldn't stand watching and I felt physically effected by the whole thing! Now, the rational side of me says that this is the most ridiculous thing ever. I mean it is just a game; and it is supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable, a break from the stress of life, to watch the games.
I find the whole thing even more distressing when I think of what should really make me physically react in life. There are so many ills that plague our society that any one of them would be much more worthy of such a response. My prayer today has become that I would have this type of reaction for the right reasons and not take sports as seriously as I take the pursuit of a life serving people and Christ.
