Saints lose to Bears 39-14

Lousiana was pretty jacked up to have our best known professional sports franchise in posistion to go to a Super Bowl.

There was a whole bunch of excitement through the middle of the third quarter. Awesome stuff. From down 16-0 to 16-14 and then the bottom fell out. The dominant Bears defense took over. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

To the Bears. And to the Saints.

Re-read the title of this blog. Interesting title, huh?

Fall from grace? I don’t think so.

It is tough to think about “what might have been” –New Orleans in the Super Bowl. It’s great to think about what was–a season of hope.

Now I could stay just on football thoughts…and there’s enough sentiment in that. I am thinking today though about grace…and where it (free gift from God) is found.

You gotta read my friend Anne Marie Cribbin’s blog entry about a young person’s theory or comparison on grace.

Then you need to MAKE 5 minutes to watch a You Tube video tribute to the Saints but I promise, the ending shows this isn’t just about football. If you can’t watch all of it….watch the last 45 seconds. A stark reminder.

Grace.
God whsipering, smiling, winking, reminding, inviting, encouraging, hoping.
And for some of us… grace wore black and gold.
Thanks God.
Thanks guys.

Back to work.
