THE PEOPLE MUST HAVE THEIR DAN MILLER

Are you ready for some football!!!?!?

I’m not. Well, I mean I guess I am. But not quite like I have been in previous years. I’ve always enjoyed football, and the past few years have spent most Sundays watching several games while following along with my fantasy teams.

But, after a recent lesson on keeping the Sabbath Day holy, and some thinking, I’ve decided that I’m not going to watch any football games on Sunday. This kind of goes along with our whole “No TV” policy, although we DO have a little portable TV so I could watch if I wanted to.

I talked with Carolyn about whether or not it would be appropriate to ask God for my fantasy football team to win the Super Bowl as a condition of my not watching TV on Sunday, and our consensus was that no, no it would not 😀

It’s interesting how it’s all come full circle. As a kid, I was not allowed to watch TV on Sundays, a policy I found very annoying. So, naturally, when I left home, that was one of the first things I do. I remember watching my first Super Bowl in my dorm room at UC (49ers over Chargers). And now, here I am… I will let you know how it goes…

  1. I must say that I love this new policy. Now I’m not some crazy wife that forbids sports watching. But it was annoying the 7 hour + football watching every Sunday. And now, no more. It will be nice to actually see my husband this football season!

  3. I thought today’s lesson was on chastity. Instead of leaving some snarky comment, I’ll just wish you luck on abstaining from TV. I also noticed a wide screen plasma at the Circuit City on Fields Ertel with some assorted rebates . . .

  4. Well we had a Stake Priesthood meeting today so we just had Sacrament meeting.

    And had the Sabbath lesson been today, I don’t know that I could have pulled the trigger on Opening Week itself!!! 🙂

    The lesson in question was a few weeks ago

  6. president jenson used to be my bishop when i was a teen.

    on a side note: reveal yourself anonymous! what are you hiding from?!

  7. Then T. Strike must have been a counselor. Why reveal myself, when you can accumulate clues to decipher my identity? I may be hiding, but I’m honest.
