Mavs + Loss = Total Mavness


The Past few weeks, there have been times when an good number of people have mentioned to me that I am very passionate about basketball and the Dallas Mavericks. This got me thinking. Yes, I like the sport and the team, but its just entertainment. Why am I so passionate about something that really does not mean much in the big picture? The answer; I dont know, I just am.

I realized though that there is something I need to deal with and deal with it soon. Some of my friends may disagree, but it usually takes a lot to make me angry. Overall, I am a pretty easy going guy. I was watching Game 5 to the Mavs, Heat game last night. The Mavs have already lost two in a row and would be down 3 to 2 in the series if we lost game 5. As I was watching the game, anger and hatred for the players on the Heat was coming over me. Pretty sad huh? I came very close to hitting my telivision, but I have already broken one in the past. (nba playoffs 2003).Issues that really matter such as the war, gas prices, crime, the lost, I really dont think about as much as I should, but for some strange reason my day can be totally ruined by the outcome of a basketball game. I think I need help! My hope and prayer is that people will notice the passion I have for my relationship with Jesus.
