prayers for blowouts

and we’re back!

If you're new here, and you're into sports and/or the Christian faith, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Sorry about the downtime over the past 24 hours. Apparently the server had some minor outpatient surgery taken care of, but we’re back online for good.

Speaking of good, we still need 3-5 folks to complete our PFB Fantasy Baseball League. If you’re on the fence about playing fantasy baseball, give it a shot. It should be a lot of fun. send me an email at prayersforblowouts(at)gmail.com

Finally, as a gift to you for your patience while we were down, here’s a list of 10 signs that you might be taking your love of sports a bit too far. (If I happened to be writing a book right now, this would probably be in it.)

——————————

1. Have you ever referred to ESPN as religious programming?
2. Have you named your dog, your kids, or your wife after a player on your favorite team?
3. Has your pastor instituted a “No Sports Prayers” policy during altar calls because of you?
4. Have you ever used the “notes” section of your bulletin to write out mock starting lineups?
5. Have you been archiving those mock starting lineups in a locked, fireproof cabinet for the last ten years?
6. Have you gone through stretches where morning devotions are replaced with daily readings and memorizations from the team’s media guide?
7. Have you painted your hated rival’s logo on the bottom of your toilet bowl to improve the overall bathroom experience?
8. Do you have trouble getting into the spirit of the worship music at church without your foam finger?
9. Have you ever worn a long-sleeve shirt to church to cover up body paint?
10. Do you bring your own communion glass to church, complete with a team logo etched onto the side?

If you said “yes” to any of these, you might want to reevaluate things. You’re this close to ending up on the bottom of one of those crazy soccer riots.

Have a great weekend everyone!
