Superbowl EXTRA

Yes...Superbowl is over and for some of us it was a disappointment. I am cool with it really. I wasn't very cool initially. I have been a Pats fan since I was about 18. That is really when I got into football beyond the high school. I liked the Pats when they stunk and when they didn't. I have prayed for them with all the controversy about the video taping and whatnot. They lost this Sunday, and I cried. I kind of got angry after that, but I also got a nice foot rub from my husband afterward...and all was right with the world (insert the sound of birds chirping here). The Giants won, and honestly I kind of thought they would. They were hungry, and they had nothing too lose really. They did some awesome defense work out there as well.
And now my husband and I will have our Sundays back. :) See...it really is all good.

So I am back and actually adding to the same post I did on my other blog thingamajigger. I love words like thingamajigger. You don't have to worry about spelling. Very nice.

Anyway, I was thinking about superstitions and the Superbowl or sports in general. I have a friend who wore the same Red Sox jersey for the entire playoffs one year. She was afraid to take it off because they were winning...and you know what? They won. I don't believe that her shirt wearing made THAT happen, but when they won, she was sure happy. Is there harm in that? I know that some Christians really frown on these kinds of rituals, and I can see where there is a case for both sides. As long as you are having fun, not taking it too seriously, and NEVER putting the rituals before God...I think it is not detrimental. I do think I need to study up on this a little more before I make a solid decision either way. I don't really have a superstition.

I do have a tradition though: I make shirts...spray painted shirts. I will have to include my Superbowl one in this post once I take a picture of it. Anyway, I spray paint a new shirt for each Superbowl game for my favorite team. This year my favorite team didn't win, BUT every one liked the shirt. No one saw it as a superstition. That may be because I never said I wore it so my team would win.

Do you have any superstitions?
