How About VCU!

Ever since the ruddy shepherd boy took on the Philistine giant, we've been rooting for the underdog, so unless you are a diehard Duke fan, you had to be cheering for VCU last night.  What a game!  Granted, Duke has been less than Duke all season.  Granted, Duke hadn't put such a young fivesome onthe floor in decades.  Nevertheless, the adrenaline rush as the game wound down was undeniable. Have you ever seen "strategy" like VCU's allowing a coast-to-coast basket with 10 seconds left by Duke to tie the game, just so they could score with 1.8 seconds left and make the victory all the more dramatic?!?!

What Goliaths are you facing today?  VCU gets to rest up today and then it's Big East "giant" Pitt tomorrow.  While I live in the greater Pittsburgh area and will be rooting for the Panthers, (and it would REALLY mess up my bracket!) a VCU victory wouldn't be that upsetting.  Every March a team like VCU comes along and reminds us that "miracles" still happen.  As followers of Jesus, we ought to know that--and we have the Holy Spirit, too!  Thanks, VCU, for reminding us all that the giants are such big targets they're hard to miss! As you face your giants today, remember that miracles DO still happen.
