Why Brett Favre is a value to life...

I can't really finish writing that title without smiling and laughing at the thought of people reading this and throwing vocally out there comments about Brett Favre. But let me explain....

"Jesus love's you", "God has a plan for your life"- we have these statements we make in church and amongst our christian friends- and after a while I think we lose the intensity and power those statements carry. If "God has a plan for my life", and it's in accordance with all the verses in the bible that we know- it must be a pretty good plan.

So I'm a Packer fan thru and thru- and despite what's going on with him- I'm still a Brett Favre fan. The thing about this guy is that everyone wants him to just retire-but why, the guy loves to play football. There is no one in the NFL that's played as long as he does with as much enthusiasm. Every touchdown he throws- hands are up and a smile on his face. So my thought is most people can't wait to retire- but this guy loves what he does so much he can't stay retired. What if we felt that way about the plan of God for our lives? What if every morning we woke up with both arms raised, enthused about the life we get to live. What if God really has a plan for us and it's exciting, inspiring, adventurous, fulfilling.

If you aren't excited about your life- if you only look forward to the weekends and not the Monday and Tuesdays- you only look forward to a couple "events" in your life every year, you aren't inspired, excited, or fulfilled- if you're none of these things- you probably aren't living the plan that God has for you.
