Fantasy Football and God

Many of you who have been readers at Spiritually Unequal Marriage for some time know I hear from God while in the bathroom. Many times I am buck nakid’ in the shower and sometimes I am in the closet getting dressed. Today I was blow-drying my hair…. Guess what the Lord prompted me to do?

Join a Fantasy Football Team. Nfl

I can tell you NEVER in a million years did this idea come from my own thoughts. It was God.

WHAT A HOOT!

Why, you ask?

My husband has been part of a neighborhood team for several years. He has a blast goofing around with his fantasy team and braggin’ about his wins to the neighbors. Side Note: Poor guy incurs more losses than wins but has a ton of fun anyway.

This is recreational fun. It fulfills a great need in my husband and I want to share in the experience. In 2007 I reviewed the book, His Needs, Her Needs by Willard F. Harley, Jr. This book covers the five most important needs of a man in marriage and a woman in marriage. Recreational Companionship is an important need for a man. Click here to read this series.

When I walked into my husband’s home office and told him I wanted to participate, he got the funniest grin on his face. He said, “Okay, but do you understand you have to draft a team?”

I like football. However, I barely understand the rules and usually only watch it on television when my beloved Denver Bronocs are playing. So taking on a fantasy team is a big commitment. But, oh so worth it.Denver_broncos_logo

My husband is trilled!

He grinned and said, “I will call the Commissioner and see if we can get you in.”

Then my husband got worried. A) I have God on my side. B) I have another secret weapon. My son. When it comes to sports, he is the best read, knowledgeable man I know. Hee hee.

Woo Hoo! There will be a blonde winner at the end of this season!!!

I can’t wait to share the camaraderie with my husband and our neighbors, guys and gals are in this league.

Now help me with two things.

1) I need a team name.

2) Purposely look for a new way to enjoy recreational companionship with your spouse this fall. Write me and tell me what it is.

Go Bronocs!!! Be Blessed, Lynn

PS. Boo, Raiders!

    What a hoot!!!! This made me giggle so much, you go girl! Go Broncos! My home team now. I even asked John about fantisy football and he explained it to me. O.k. so I’m not sure I want to join him golfing-actually my back won’t allow me to but it is a great encouragement.
    Be blessed in this new game-maybe you’ll whoop up on all of them and the Lord will get the glory. I can’t wait to hear all about it. Love you.

    Lynn, this post brought a big smile to my face. I don’t know zip about football but I have a nephew who’s crazy about it. I remember a few years ago I was trying, without much success have a conversation with him that lasted more than two minutes then I asked a football question. Two hours later I was trying to get out of the conversation, lol. I still understand nothing about the game though.
    Hope you have fun with your fantasy league.

    Awesome, Lynn! (This is right in keeping for August’s topic for Marriage Monday.) You go girl! The closest I ever came to football was cheerleading… for rugby. (((Hugs)))

    I’m no help with thinking of a name for your team, but you have definitely got me thinking about things I can do with my husband. He and my son are golfaholics and they are always asking me to go along. I did golf with him years ago when we were first married and I hated it because everyone we played with took the game so seriously and I obviously was just a hacker, so I quit. Maybe he and I could just go play without being in a league. I’m also interested in reading that book. Going to go look around for it. Thanks!

    If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. I did the same when I met my husband. I began golfing with him. Some times, the best place to get to their heart and soul is where they stand. In this case, what they participate in. One more way to love them for who they are and what they have to offer.
    Go for it Lynn. Have a great time. Many fun and laughter will come your way.
