<\/a>SO, it’s the the season of the NFL Playoffs. I’ve noticed myself bending toward some folksy theology. Maybe you’ve noticed this for yourself. Or…just let me remind you. :)<\/p>\n

Bring on the comments, friends! Can you think of any items I missed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Caffeine is somehow linked to the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. People who use the words “Demon Alcohol” don’t use the words “Demon Lactose”, but really, which one seems more demonic on a regular basis?<\/p>\n

3. Gluttony of anything [but food] seems sinful, but eating until it almost<\/em> hurts is a worthy epicurean goal, and probably some sort of “listening to God thing” or even a gifting of the Spirit.<\/p>\n

4. Lack of a TV makes you more spiritual, but the possession of an iPhone helps you help God.<\/p>\n

5. Twinkle lights in December and January help show the Light of God’s Love, but by March they are tacky, and used by Satan to distract people from the blessing of Spring and rebirth.<\/p>\n

6. The ability to host a kickin’ NFL Playoff party with great food is called “the Gift of Hospitality” and it makes God proud when when use our gifts. [I’ll be over @ 4p.m.]<\/p>\n

7. Routing for teams like the Cowboys, the Eagles, the Browns, the Lions, (and so on) develops the Fruit of the Spirit we call Patience<\/em>. So, it’s a good thing, but like many spiritual lessons, it is learned through pain and struggle. Watching such teams fail each year helps those fans grow spiritually…more than Patriot or Steeler fans, let’s say.<\/p>\n

So…That’s 7 nutty beliefs that can happen in January. Have you noticed anything weird lately? If so, please share.<\/p>\n
