Good Morning, God
Ah, the joys of victories and the agonies of defeat are in our thoughts and on our faces once again.  It's tournament time in basketball.  It's that time of the year that ushers in spring.  It's basketball tournament time again!
Lord, we really enjoy watching individuals and teams play against each other.  We love to see players "slice through the defense" to "jam it home" or "lay it up".  We marvel at how a player can "get only net" from a ball put up "from downtown".  While we are always ready for a game to be over, we also appreciate the drama when the game is close and it takes many minutes to play only a few seconds.  And, Lord, we appreciate the suspense when a game goes into overtime.  Who has the desire , who has the stamina, who will win the game?
Lord, thank you for the joy and enjoyment of basketball tourney time.  May the teams play their best and may we be the best at being good sports.
In Jesus name, Amen
