Super Bowl Sunday

I remember the first time I went to the Super Bowl. A relative called to offer two free tickets. Our only expense would be for travel and hotel. I couldn't wait to call Charlie and tell him the good news! When he answered I shouted, "We have tickets to the Super Bowl!" Deadpan Charlie said, "You're kidding, right?" So I launched into my not so "Cliff-Notes" explaination. As I reinterated, "We only have to pay for travel and hotel." No emotion Charlie said, "Do you know where it is?" HA, of course the answer was, "No, I don't, but what does it matter?" We had free tickets to the Super Bowl! Again, Charlie spoke using only the necessary syllables. "San Diego," he says. My turn to say, "You're kidding, right?" However, I knew that he wasn't. I could hardly contain myself, a trip to San Diego that's fantastic! Imagine the cost of hotel and travel a week before the event? But my spontaneous self won over Charlie's logic and we were headed to our first ever Super Bowl. It was an amazing experience and a lesson learned!

I believe some things in life are just meant to go and do. Reminds me of David's sermon from the "go to book." God sometimes just needs us to "GO" and figure out the details along the way.
