My word(s) of the day is\/are SUPER BOWL — the National Football League\u2019s championship game, played annually in the United States between the two best professional football teams: the National and the American Football Conferences.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m one of those \u201cfair weather\u201d football fans. If one of MY teams are playing (Dallas Cowboys or Seattle Seahawks), I\u2019m watching the game. If they\u2019re not or they’re out, then I\u2019m only watching the big finale \u2013 the SUPER BOWL.<\/p>\n

I was on a fact finding mission as I created today\u2019s blog post. Today, February 4, 2018, Super Bowl 52 will be played at 5:30 pm at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, MN with the two BEST teams competing for the Vince Lombardi Trophy made by Tiffany & Co. that cost $50,000.<\/p>\n

The prize for Super Bowl players isn’t shabby. It\u2019s worth it for each player to give their all for a few hours to be paid $107,000 on the winning team and $53,000 each on the losing team. For most of the top players, this bonus is more about bragging rights because because they already have lucrative professional contracts with their respective teams. New England Patriots average squad salary is around $2.3 million a year which goes to show the Super Bowl bonus is peanuts for them.<\/p>\n

To see the big game in person, as of yesterday, the average price of a ticket was $4,000. You can get a bargain 50-yard ticket, 3rd row for $16,887 and an end zone seat at $5,557.<\/p>\n

The Patriots are favored to win, but there are those who are declaring the Eagles will crush the Patriots. I understand how the Patriots are favored because Tom Brady has led the Patriots in winning five Super Bowls in his career with them. If winning, Tom Brady will become the oldest quarterback to start a Super Bowl (40 years, 186 days). Philadelphia Eagles have never won a Super Bowl and haven\u2019t been to one since 2005.<\/p>\n

Will Tom Brady prevail again or will backup quarterback Nick Foles lead the Eagles to Philadelphia’s first Super Bowl win? In either case, let’s hope for a game that’s at least as entertaining as the commercials (currently at $5 million for 30-seconds). Super Bowl Sunday is a legend and I\u2019ll be watching for the best team to win.<\/p>\n

No matter what….whether you are a SUPER BOWL fan or not\u2026..this day will be just another day in things that matter most. This day will pass away, and in the light of eternity — it won’t matter. BUT, being on the WINNING TEAM is really what matters. I’m not talking about football, baseball or dominoes. Patrick Henry, a REAL Patriot during the American Revolution said, “United, we stand. Divided, we fall.” It won’t be just Tom Brady or Nick Noles that will win in this game today. It is being united with their team that will seal the deal. United is what we pray for those of us who desire strength and unity in our homes, our country and our faith.<\/p>\n

Isn’t it time for OUR team to be the one that says “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord?” (Joshua 24:15). The winning team is God’s team of fully devoted followers. I’ve read the Play Book (the Bible) and I\u2019ve read the back of the book…..and this TEAM that REALLY matters — the one that will defeat the enemy once and for all…..WINS big time. In fact, we\u2019ve already won!<\/p>\n

Psalm 108:13 \u201cWith God on our side we will win; he will defeat our enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n
