Team USA, it was a good run until it wasn't. I still love soccer/football because of the man to whom I am married and I will follow this series to the end because it is fun and exciting. However, the way I was yelling at the television last night showed me something really valuable about which God and I had a talk this morning. Idolatry of the heart. Yes, this is only a game and I need to remember that. But really, anything that would make me as angry as I was last night (pretty rare for me) usually turns out to be an idol of the heart, a place where I think I know better than God what should happen next. May I/we always remember that Jesus Christ remains on the throne, no matter what. I am so glad He faithfully walks with us as the Holy Spirit pulls our sinful hearts back from the places they would stray. Hallelujah!
