“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Friday; September 12, 2008

          Last weekend was special because it was the beginning of the new NFL season.  The best thing about the early part of the schedule is that everyone still has a chance.  Fans everywhere are hoping for a championship – who knows; maybe this could be “our” year.  Now that the first week is over, some spirits might be dampened; but, there’s always this weekend and the platitude that one game does not a season make.

          The idea of new beginnings has a special place in our hearts.  Wouldn’t be neat to be able to start all over again?  Wouldn’t it be great if we could just close the book on the old chapter in our life and start anew.  Interestingly, in Christianity, we can.  One of the allures of the early Christian church was summed up in the message, “… if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.”  (II Corinthians 5:17)

          Is it time to start over?  How about this weekend?  It might be Week 2 in the NFL; but, it can be opening day in our lives.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
