bedlam |ˈbedləm|noun1 a scene of uproar and confusion
every year,
if the family can get
the kitchen cleaned
and the laundry done fast enough,
we will don our crimson
and move the furniture
in anticipation for kickoff.
and the laundry done fast enough,
we will don our crimson
and move the furniture
in anticipation for kickoff.
my alma mater suits up
to defeat, at a minimum,
this other school from across the state,
in a storied 107-game series,
in hopes they might,
sooner or never,
stop coming to play.
people act pretty absurd for 3 to 4 hours,
whether you are on the field,
in the stands,
at the bar,
or on the couch.
in all of that ruckus,
it's a wonder that either team
is able to just stick to the plan.
stay steady at the line of scrimmage.
run the right routes.
be kind to the ref.
and for pete's sake, catch the dang ball.
whichever huddle can focus,
on the coach's vision
and not on their personal endzone celebrations
until the final whistle blows,
will win.
until the final whistle blows,
will win.
so our guys better win today.
that is to say, i need to win too.
Father,
thank You for inevitable chaos.apart from Your will,
i am out of order.
i don't want the
trappings of my culture.
i'll freestyle down
the narrow road,
all day, any day.
You gave me the ability
to speak to storms
and mountains
and demons.
maybe mine are hard of hearing.
but watch me.
i'll keep running
those plays You call out.
in Jesus' name,
AMEN
