      Who Dat!!  It is hard to      believe that the Saints are going to the Super Bowl.  After so many years of watching frustrated, it is hard to imagine that this is finally a reality.  I know we all were thinking:  “Could this ever happen in our lifetime?”  Some people think this is the best thing that has ever happened, but nothing will surpass the day when Jesus calls us home forever.  What a day that will be- no more pain, no more sorrows, no more sickness, no more sadness.  The celebration that we will have with Jesus will dwarf what happened in New Orleans and the Superdome.

      May God find us faithful.  May God find us prepared.  May God find us ready by doing his will here on earth and living that victorious Christian life that we can only have in Christ.  If you are a Christian, you were a winner long before the Saints won.  May we live like it every day as we anxiously await our Lord’s return.

 

Love in Christ,

Bro. Paul
