The odds? Not surprisingly, here in The Office the Saints are favored. Sistertech remains… I cannot lie. Since Farve is out, it’s GO SAINTS!
The Special Response Team is at the ready in case a player is badly hurt. There’s plenty of paper in the fax machines. We expect a huge increase in volume of prayers today. Happens every Super Bowl. Sistertech cannot help but wonder: Where are these “true believers” are the rest of the year?
The Psalm 138 for today is especially relevant. Particularly verses 7 and 8, don’t you think?
7Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve me against the wrath of my enemies;
you stretch out your hand,
and your right hand delivers me.
8The Lord will fulfil his purpose for me;
your steadfast love, O Lord, endures for ever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands.
The Psalm in its entirety follows below.Psalm 138
1I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;
before the gods I sing your praise;
2I bow down towards your holy temple
and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness;
for you have exalted your name and your word
above everything.
3On the day I called, you answered me,
you increased my strength of soul.4All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord,
for they have heard the words of your mouth.
5They shall sing of the ways of the Lord,
for great is the glory of the Lord.
6For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly;
but the haughty he perceives from far away.
7Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve me against the wrath of my enemies;
you stretch out your hand,
and your right hand delivers me.
8The Lord will fulfil his purpose for me;
your steadfast love, O Lord, endures for ever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands.
