Joy, ESPN.com, and Kevin Durant: God Speaks To Us In Ways We Would Never Expect
The following is close approximation of the homily I delivered December 16th, 2018 at St. Luke the Evangelist Church in Slidell. The scripture readings on which this is based for the 3rd Sunday in Advent Year C, can be found by clicking this link.
Did anyone here watch the Saints play the Buccaneers last week? How many of you had that sinking feeling when the Saints were playing terribly and were way behind? How many of you were jumping for joy when Taysom Hill blocked that punt? Well, that was not really joy. That might have been happiness. It comes and goes. I will explain shortly.
Monday morning after the game I was surfing through some of national sports reporting outlets to see what they had to say about the Saints.
