A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, January 28th

Good Morning, God,
We begin this week with the headlines that this is Super Bowl Week, God. The hype started 8 days ago when the two teams were decided, and lo and behold, the Super Bowl will pit the Harbaugh brothers against each other. Oh, what a media opportunity this will be, Lord!
The researchers may even find video footage of when the brothers were playing football in their backyard while their ages were still in the single digits. Now, next Sunday, they will be playing in an adult game, on an adult field, and "for keeps." The lead-up to next Sunday will be something else, Lord!
Gracious God, we are grateful for all our opportunities to identify with teams and individuals. We enjoy the hype, the building of excitement, the actual battle on the gridiron, the celebration of the win....and with the Super Bowl, we especially enjoy the ads.
So, Lord, with so may serious matters on tap this week, may we thoroughly enjoy this little diversion of the Super Bowl for awhile!
In Jesus' name, Amen.
