          I have new favorite college football team.  My time in Orlando gave me a first-hand look at the University of Central Florida program and the way Scott Frost developed a winner.  With the coming of Josh Huepel (a South Dakota kid) I have gotten swept up into the Knights community.  Oh course the “high octane” offense and 21 game winning streak hasn’t hurt, either.  While I have jumped on the bandwagon, I do so with an understanding that UCF will not be in a position  to get into the College Football Playoffs.  It may be frustrating that a team that could go two years without losing a game will get locked out, but that is the way it is going to be.  It may not be fair, but it is the reality.  Now, I could become frustrated and get all worked up about it or I can sit back and enjoy some fun college ball and – if or when they get a chance to play another top tier team – hope that they will be able to show the detractors how good they really are.
          The reason for this revelation is to make a statement – not about college ball, but about life, especially Christian life.  In a carnal world there are going to be some times when some Christians don’t get the benefit of the doubt.  There are some things that are important to us that will be ignored by society and some issues that concern us that will be scoffed at by others.  We can either whine and fuss that we aren’t be treated fairly or we can understand that “that’s life” and move on.  We can enjoy our successes and do our best when we get a chance to impact the world, but when things don’t go our way, let’s realize that our morals and values are in the minority.  That doesn’t make us insignificant or mean that we have less value than others – it just means that we aren’t going to get the appreciation we want or deserve. 
          Let’s enjoy the lives we are blessed to live.  Being believers we have the good life – no matter whether others support us or not.
          Think About It!
