In His game plan?

Tue., Jan. 27, 2015

I suppose that Christian Twelfth Man hearts soared when Russell Wilson emerged from his postgame public prayer circle with the wet-eyed proclamation that God had prepared him and his team for the game against the Green Bay Packers.

What happened to the other team? Did some of the Green Bay players break the 11th Commandment, “Thou shalt not eat cheese on Tuesdays?”

In the event of a Seahawk Super Bowl collapse, will we see our favorite quarterback be logically consistent and bemoan the Lord’s giving the Patriots superior motivation, a better game plan and underinflated footballs?
