Sometimes I Need It
There are times I need the distraction of both college football and Pro football. My Spirit Guides can be too much at times. I have been writing about football a lot this year because it seems I have been torn about football. First it is a violent sport. Second, I can pay too much attention to it. I can’t help but be entertained by both college and the pros, but on weekends five or six football games seems to be too much, plus the analyses during the week.
So, I’ve decided to just choose which games I watch carefully, or other things could be a distraction from football. I just don’t want football to interfere with my Spirituality, which it so easily could. I choose my games carefully preferring to choose two college games on Saturday and one pro game on Sundayys and not watch analyses during the week.
I could become a professional bettor on football, but have avoided any temptation to bet on games. I might be pretty good as a bettor, but have avoided doing so. I’m sure bettors with large sums have tried to infiltrate the games, but I want to believe in the integrity of the games. But money can be a great influencer as it is in politics. Pete Rose was kept out of Baseball’s Hall of Fame for that very reason.
So, I’ve decided not to give up football knowing full well it could take my attention away from my Spirituality. I could become consumed by football—even going so far to bet on it. I am that into football and always have been for as long as I can remember. My favorite teams have changed depending on where I have lived, but I am a fan of football, but mostly college and not so much the pros. But my Spirituality can be its own obsession and I don’t want that either.
I have said so many times that life is about balance—always enough but not too much. I feel this way about all things no matter what it is. My Spirituality can’t be more important than life itself but just important enough. This is true in relationships of all kinds. Always enough, but not too much. Football is for entertainment. Spirituality is for growth. Relationships enhance our lives. So, I seek balance in all things.
Maybe I smoke a pipe too much or maybe I seek to be alone too much. I seek balance in both. I seek balance in relationships. While my Spirituality might come first it can’t be all consuming. My pipe this morning is my Jirsa Czech pipe with Lane 1-q and my coffee is Stumptown Holler Mountain. Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.
