A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, March 23rd

Good morning, God
Spring is here and so are the Sweet Sixteen teams.  Lord, for any basketball fan, now is the time we have been waiting for.  Now is the time we can dream our dreams about the teams, make our best prognostications, take in as many games as we can watch and have lots and lots of conversations around tables, water-coolers and bars.
Lord, some may consider following sports a waste, especially if they don’t see a direct tie to the schools that are playing.  Some may see it truly as a “madness” rather than just good, clean fun.  Some may resent the time the fans spend away from their families and other pursuits.
But, Lord, you tell us to “Rejoice with those who rejoice.”  You have created us with the ability and desire to compete to win.  You have given us the ability and desire to have good fun.  So, during this time, may we consider having March Madness with a bit of moderation – and may the best teams and fans win.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
