Last year the 49ers were terrible. This year they are good enough to give me hope that they might actually win. But hope defered makes the heart sick but a winning football team is healing to the bones. I am about to be a freeagent fan. I think I will play for another rooting team and let God restore my soul… Oh thank you Jesus! I have been set free from the bondage of cheering only to have my heart crushed under the intense disappoint of interceptions and fumbles. I am free… Free to love a winning team. I have taken off the filhy rags of my 49er coat and put on my new self of …. (I not sure yet)!

Root for the Cincinnati Bengals! The whole team must have read The Supernatural Ways of Royality in the off-season because they have shaken off their pauper-mentality and have taken the lead in the AFC North! Go Bengals!

Kris we feel real sad for you. Ha! Ha! Not! We think you should become a Steeler fan on the West coast. Why don’t you join the Steeler Nation, which we’ve heard is going global. Or you could pray specifically for better players. You must be slacking in your prayers since its been many a day since Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, and Steve Young wore a 49ers uniform. We Steeler Nation members apparently know how to pray. What many people don’t realize is between the Super Bowl Championships Terry Bradshaw led, and most recently with Ben Roethlisberger leading us to two more Super Bowl victories we had ten years plus of our hopes deferred. There were many Sundays when we turned the TV off in utter disgust, but we prayed, “God, just give us a quarterback like Bradshaw.”, and in faith prayed, “God, when are we getting that quarterback, and, by the way, we need a defensive line like the Steel Curtain, and another Lynn Swann and Franco Harris.” We got the “Bus” in place of Franco. He gave us a couple years warning that he was retiring so we got starting praying for his replacement. We got Willie Parker and now Mendehall. Hines Ward was our answer to Lynn Swann. And YES the Steel Curtain is back. We will let you in on a secret, there are always two games within a game: the game as a whole and the last three minutes. Steelers are famous for scoring up to three scores (two touchdowns, and field goal) the last three minutes of the game. Prayer! Prayer! Prayer! Or maybe God is just a Steeler fan at heart and is the President of the Steeler Nation! So Kris have we won you over to the Black and Gold side or do we have to look out for the 49ers in a few years?
Just in Fun, Jim and Deb
P.S. We really wanted to comment on the great message you shared on Sunday. You hid your heart issue well.

Whatever you do just dont become a Cowboys fan. Im a Redskins fan, Im finding hope in ‘for I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us’. Remember Kris what you wrote in the purity book, its the fight that determines the value of the prize, it’ll be worth it when they win. Im just one misserable fan encouraging another to ‘finish the race’. Finish the race.
