A Super Super Bowl Story

Apparently there is a story worth mentioning from Media Day yesterday at Super Bowl XL!

Mike Holmgren's wife and one of their daughters is missing the game! Can you believe it? They are going to be serving in a medical mission in Africa and were given a satellite phone to call Mike when the game is over to find out if his team won the game!

What a great story! What a great reminder! A reminder that on Sunday when most of us are scrambling to get our dips made and the food ready before kickoff there are people who are serving around the world and meeting the real needs of humanity.

How hard would it be for a company advertising on Sunday to take a million out of their commercial budget and send it with Kathy and her daughter? This is a great story line and a great reminder to all of us that Sunday's game in the grand scheme of life is extremely meaningless. Let's take some time at kick off to pray for Kathy and those we know serving that day halfway across the world and making a difference one person at a time!
