Spiritual Awakening: The Dropped Pass!!!

One may ask what does football have to do with spiritual awakening? The answer is so simple as in football and in life a dropped pass can turn a game a round or turn a life around.  I have  watched many a football game and each game has that one moment that turns the momentum from one team to another and most likely it involves a dropped pass. As you trace your life back on your own personal gridiron how many passes can you say you caught and how many have you dropped. When you have dropped the pass have you found out why and made adjustments so the next time that pass is thrown your way way you can catch it. Each drive in football has a consequence. Every decision in life has a consequence as well. Sometimes that dropped pass in life is a blessing because you can run another route or a play and have a different outcome. The greatest victory is in overcoming the dropped pass.

I watched The Oregon Ducks take on The Ohio State Buckeyes for The National Championship on 1/12/2015. As I watched Marcus Mariota throw a pass on 3rd down that should have been caught I thought what a shift as Oregon punted and Ohio State marched down the field on a 97 yard touchdown drive to tie the game at 7. The ducks took the ensuing kickoff and were driving when again Mariota found a wide open receiver who unfortunately dropped the ball and forced Oregon to punt. Oregon punted and Ohio State again marched down the field to take a 14-7 lead. Oregon would be in scoring position but Ohio State would stop them. The teams would exchange points and the half would end with Ohio State up 21-10. Ohio State would be stopped and Oregon would kick a field goal then Oregon would capitalize with a 71 yard touch down pass to make the game 21-20 Ohio State. Ohio State would take over the game and go on to win The National Championship 42-20.  I share this with you because like a football game our lives have a ebb an flow and if you drop too many passes you lose out. In life these passes are shown as opportunities given to us in spiritual code.  If we take the proper action and have the proper game plan and execute all of our patterns we grow in mind, body, and soul.  Look at  the passes being thrown your way and if you are catching them or dropping them.
