Marketers place a lot of faith in the appeal of the Super Bowl, both the game and the commercials . . . They should work harder on half-time. We turned off Prince or the one who used to be known as and didn't tune in again until the partway through the 3rd quarter.

Theresa found nothing to come close to EDS' Herding Cats. Although, the Nationwide Financial commercial of a fry cook at a fast-food joint imaging rapping fame was funny. I might add the General Motors factory robot obsessed with quality taps into the emotional pull of my years caring for them and their creators at CMU ;-) FYI: Check out ESPN's list which doesn't forget to bring our attention to Apple's 1984 and the e-Trade Monkey -- good voting from the readers!

So we begin Monday into the wide world of consumerism, to replenish our stock of beer and doritos . . . BUT for the testimony of the coaches! So good to see the popular press wrestling to cover the counter-cultural nature of the Gospel -- hard to believe such a perspective could come out on top from time to time in the NFL, even come in 2nd. Must have something to do with the way the creation is ordered and how we relate to one another in sport/vocation as we apply our gifts in the way they were intended to be used :-) FYI: More at Super Bowl Coaches Value Family, Faith

Good to be on the same team (by the grace of God), seeking the same prize in Christ Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit. As we return to our daily life, may we too witness in words and actions to another prize than those of the flesh, the devil, and world. Father grant us your Spirit to play your game your way to your glory in our family, relationships, neighborhood, and vocation. In the Name of your Son Jesus who played the game as one of us and suffered the price for the prize, Amen.
