Cup of Life: the 'worldly' grail

Permit me to make an entry about the current craze: that of the Cup of Life.

The world cup, an event that overwhelms the globe every four years, has finally made a return to our big (or small or plasma or HD) screens, and for most, it is something that has been a long time coming. The beautiful game, as most call it, is truly an exciting event. For someone who follows the fortunes (or lack of it in recent years, haha) of one Newcastle United FC on the EPL, it is an event to enjoy - although I may end up going to work and giving lectures and tutorials half asleep (woo hoo). Nonetheless, footie is here big time!

I will be updating you more on my thoughts, raves and rants on the WC periodically, but let me say a word, or some words of reminder to all those out there who will be red or dark rimmed eyed in the coming month: it may be called the Cup of Life, but it is a worldly cup. Remember the words of our Lord Jesus, that He is the way, the truth and the Life. :)

Enjoy the footie, enjoy staying up late with your mates (probably giving the mamaks a big increase in their pay cheques) and enjoy taking time off work.

Let the games begin ...

The Three Lions are starting today and I will be watching. Holland is my second pick for the team that lifts the cup (is it just wishful thinking?). Three Lions on a shirt, Jules Rimet still gleaming ...

More to come. Keep posted.

God bless you.
