Down to the Wire
KU Wins! I can’t believe it! Even if you are not a KU fan or even a basketball fan, there was something for everyone to cheer about after the National Championship game on Monday night. Unless of course you:
After several lead changes, the game came down to the "The Shot." It swished cleanly through the net, tied the 2008 NCAA championship game with 2.1 seconds left, and made it possible for the Jayhawks to beat Memphis in overtime, 75-68. If you missed it you can see it here.
If you are a KU basketball fan you know that in 2005, it was the Bucknell disaster. In 2006, a repeat with another first-round ejection, this one to Bradley. And, last season, the year ended in an Elite Eight loss in which KU struggled to even make lay ups.
KU has had to live with the reputation of choking for years, and now they are national champions. I love stories of overcomers….of people who beat the odds and succeed. If you are like me, I am confident that you will find hope and a challenge in the service this Sunday.
We will study John 18:12-27 which is actually two different scenes: One with Jesus before Annas the “High Priest Emeritus” and one with Peter and his denials. On the surface it would seem that the story is only about overcoming failures and difficult times. As we probe deeper there is much more, but you will have to come to find out. If by chance you are on your deathbed and can’t make it you can listen to the sermons online here.
- Were one of the cable customers in Lawrence who lost their reception for the final minutes after a car ran into the cable box at the end of the game.
- Are Coach John Calipari and the rest of the Memphis team who couldn’t make a free throw if the game depended on it (oh yeah, it did).
- Went to bed thinking Memphis had it all wrapped up....
