Bethany's Adventures in Europe: Who Dat!

WHO DAT! GEAUX SAINTS!

If you haven't already figured it out, I am a huge New Orleans Saints fan! Sadly, I wasn't able to watch any games this year (for some reason, they don't show them on tv here!). I kept up with the scores and watched the play by play online, but didn't see a game. I've always knew the Saints would make it to the Superbowl, I just didn't know when (and that my friends is called "faith"). I found out my beloved Saints would play in the Superbowl while at a conference in Germany. I know all my friends could see the joy when I heard the news! I knew I had to watch this historic occasion on tv! Lucky for me, some of my friends have British satellite tv, and they were broadcasting the Superbowl live! Sunday night at midnight (the game started at 1:30 a.m.) I suited up (complete with Saints t-shirt, fleur-de-lis earrings, mini Saints helmet, Saints fingernails, and a gold headband) and headed out to watch the game. It's about a mile walk to my friends' house and it was raining...but I didn't care! I had my umbrella and I danced down the street (listening to "We Will Rock You" and "Eye of the Tiger") like I was back in Nawlins.
If you didn't see it, the game was a nervewracking one! I was so nervous the whole time, but I knew they could do it, and they did! I must admit, I shed a tear or two when we won! When I left the party (at 5:00 a.m.) it was snowing and I ran back home and called my family. What a great feeling! I think I updated my facebook status 5 times or so! I just wanted to tell everyone! Then I blasted (well, as loud as you can at 5 a.m.) "We Are the Champions".

Why don't we have this kind of excitement about other things in life? Why don't we get excited about our faith in God as we do our faith in football? I want to get excited! I want to have the desire to tell everyone I know about the power of my God! This is my goal: to have a "super" excitement about my faith!
