Boise LOVES their broncos! Getting ready for the BSU / OSU game tonight on the blue turf. Loving "game day" with ESPN. It is so neat to have something as a community to just get behind together. There are so many "issues" these days; economy, housing market, unmemployment, politics, etc; issues we argue about. What a joy to have something to rally around in a positive manner.
I've always been disgusted with the money that pro athletes get paid. They seem to have become all about the money and status. Well, we dont have much in the way of pro sports here in Idaho, so our colleges are a true JOY. I think if Jesus were on the earth today, he would love to attend games of competition like these.
Went out to dinner last night and saw mostly OSU fans enjoying our city. (It is pretty darn nice, isn't it?) Also ran into some boys from Missouri who just pick a couple of good games they want to see thru the year, and go! BSU was a pick for them this year... how cool is that? They said they loved it here. Everyone was amazing and so friendly and kind. Way to go Boise!
I really think Idaho is a much unknown treasure (at least to outsiders). And in Idaho, we can still call ourselves Christian without fear of persecution or ridicule. It's still OK to be a believer in Boise, Idaho. We need to pray for our brothers and sisters abroad, though. The persecution they feel in other places can be so hard to imagine. Let's not forget them.
