Today is Super Bowl Sunday.  In worship settings around the USA living life on a daily basis has been compared to the rules of engagement that are expected in the playing of a football game.  This is a good way to compare how we act to what we believe.

• If we say we believe in love yet practice hate, how sincere is our belief?
• If we say we believe in respect yet degrade others, how sincere is our belief?
• If we say we believe in serving others yet refuse to help when the opportunity arises, how sincere is our belief?

I hope today can be a call to help us examine our actions and our principles and see if we can have them in alignment.  The good news is that if they are not in alignment we can make changes so that alignment can exist.
