We are there. “In season ” From now until after January 1 we will be involved with the teams we pull for, the teams we pull against ( that will be the subject of another message) and the ups and downs of the Football season. Then there is hunting season. It could be some guys are absentee from Friday through Monday morning for the next 4-6 months. You know it’s true in some instances. I have a friend in Texas, he quits working on Nov 1 and is out until mid January. Sometimes he is in San Angelo stalking white tail deer for days at a time. He lives in Dallas with his wife. His children are grown. But he did this when they weren’t. I know a guy here in Birmingham who sat in his wife’s hospital room after she gave birth to their first child…. Looking at hunting videos rather than tending to her or the baby. It was late October and he has a farm where he hunts. Nothing is out of balance by being involved with football. Nothing is wrong with being an avid deer hunter. If ANYTHING draws you away from your family excessively… It can GET out of balance. Football, hunting seasons, work, any hobby… Anything can get out of balance. Balance it properly. If you sense it is too much, cut back. You know that you know when it’s too much. Assert your dominion over ANYTHING trying to dominate your relationship to God, to your wife, to your children. And each of you receiving this message has enough of Gods Word in you to know when that begins to happen. The first Man was placed on earth to have and assert dominion ….not to be dominated. I hope your team wins every game. I hope you kill the biggest deer you have ever seen. Don’t miss any of your wife or children’s lives as you do these things.
