Football Fever!

So, this happens to me every four years, I start to get obsessive about watching football--soccer to all of you. There is something about the game itself because moment by moment you don't know what will happen next. Then you add the pressure of tournament play and you have World Cup Fever!!

Football is so much like life. You prepare and you prepare but you never know how you will perform until the very moment something happens. So many variables at play and so much risk and chance. There has to be some connection to spiritual formation here...

OK, so I haven't had as much time this time around to watch this first round of play, though I did enjoy the England vs USA match. (Click here for a Lego version of the goals...not a pretty goal for the US, but it worked.) I'm hoping to have more time this next week. Maybe I'll take my grading down to the pub...

And finally, for a funny on the philosophical side, here is Monty Python's "Philosopher's Football". Hilarious!

Enjoy!
Chelle
