Do you ever wonder????

This morning while I was "milking the cow" which is also my facebooking time, I could not get over the amount of people talking about the Ranger's game last night. It was astounding. I'd scroll down- still rangers-- scroll some more-- still more Ranger talk-- click on "more posts" on the bottom and even more Ranger's talk. Some postive, some negative, some motivational, and some just down right eye shocking. How can anyone get that aggrivated at a team in a world series game? Really? To sit there and put such harsh, curse words out in front of everyone over a World Series Game? Why do we get so wrapped up in these things? The sun is going to come up tomorrow...... The Rangers will still be a team next year...... Baseball isn't going anywhere......so why do we let these false idols take over us?

Then I started to ponder.....what if we changed the word Ranger's to God in all of these posts? What if everyone who was posting and cheering and rooting for the Rangers were cheering for God instead..... can you imagine our society then?! WOW! We are so wrapped up in our world, and consumed by these "things" that I think we all fail to ever want to cheer for God like this. We are quick to put our feelings and frustrations towards a team on facebook, but yet, do that many people, that often, place an uplifting, christian status? No! Several posts from my lists last night were from the same people, updating their thoughts/anger/happiness hour by hour.......

I know I am probably sounding like I'm top of a soap box, or a "Jesus freak" right now..... but do you ever just stop and wonder about things like this? We wonder why our world is in such a mess and going through such crisis? I'm betting if my facebook news feed was this crazy with Ranger Drama last night....yours probably was too..... go back and look.....replace the word Rangers with God and see how it would look/sound. Would we be a better nation?

Don't get me wrong- I love the Rangers- have watched every World Series game thus far and was wrapped up into that game. I can't tell you the number of times I told Jeremy "Ok- 1 more strike and they got it" Ha! I was excited when Josh hit his first post season home run last night...then the back to back home runs from Beltre and Cruz... by far and awesome inning for the Rangers....

But in all seriousness, imagine what our would would be like if we were wrapped up in our Faith and displaying to others our love of God instead of these false idols that are put before us?
