Does that startle you? I have been an avid football fan since I was 5 years old; just look at my office! But now, I've had it. Let me list the reasons for my decision never to attend another football game.
1. I was taken to too many games by my Dad when I was growing up.
2. It seems that the games are scheduled when I want to do other things.
3. Every time I go to a game somebody asks me for money.
4. Although I go to the game often, few people are friendly enough to speak to me.
5. The seats are too hard and uncomfortable. Besides, I often have to sit down front on the fifty yard line.
6. There are hypocrites at the game--they come out to see their friends and what others are wearing rather than to see the game.
7. The referee says things I do not agree with.
8. The band plays some numbers I have never heard before.
9. Some games last too long, and I am late getting home.
10. I have a book on football. I can stay at home and read it.
Well, there they are . . . ten reasons why I will never attend another football game. Kind of foolish isn't it, to miss a game. I played, coached, and enjoyed for the reasons stated above.
It is also foolish to miss the joys of worship, Bible study, training, and prayer for similar reasons!
See YOU at the GAME . . . I mean, I'll see YOU in CHURCH!
