Wow!! That's all I can say about this week for the Dallas Cowboys. Let's run down the list Romo Out four weeks, Sam Hurd out for year, Matt McBriar out for year, Felix Jones out four weeks, Terrance Newman possibly out for season with sports hernia, and PacMan Jones suspended indefinitely!!! But its amazing that in the middle of all this bad news, Jerry Jones goes out and does something to make all of us Cowboy fans excited and feel good, in the midst of all of the negative media, and injuries about how are season is over! He trades for Texas Longhorn Great Roy Williams!!!!!! And for some reason I just can't stop smiling, even though I know there are a lot of bad things going on, at least there is one thing I can get excited about and thats ROY WILLIAMS BABY!!! I love having Jerry Jones as an Owner because I know he loves the Cowboys more than anyone and wants what is best for His Team!
You know we can learn a lot about our lives and our God through the Cowboys, yes that's right there is a lesson in my sports obsession.
Sometimes in life there are so many things that can seem negative, kind of like that negative media. There are so many trials going on like all of those injuries the cowboys had this week. And we can get down about our life, and dwell in the land of sorrow. But we have an owner, if you will, who loves us so much and wants to do something to put a smile on our face even in the hard times. And if we will focus on the ONE THING, a God who loves and cares for us so much. and not on all of the bad things like stress, economy, our failures, sickness or injury, etc.... we will have a smile and heart that is excited! It is not that all of the bad news will just go away, it is that we will not want to just go away with it, we will not lose motivation, we will not lose passion, we will not give up, we will not stop caring - because that is exactly what the enemy wants!! But we will have a newfound excitement, we will be filled with purpose, we will walk in mercy and grace, we will be a light in hard times.
I will never forget the elderly man from Hurricane Katrina that I met at Salvation Army, he had lost everything, his house, his church, his cars, but yet he had a smile on his face and he was helping the volunteers at salvation army. I asked him where that smile came from in times like this. He said, "I havent lost everything, I still have God" That is what I am talking about!
So God and Jerry Jones are alot alike, in that they both love what they own and want to do something that will inspire there team to keep believing, to keep going towards the prize!
So if you have had a lot of bad news this week, or just had a hard time this week, or feel overwhelmed, or feel like a failure, or feel defeated - Begin to dwell on the ONE THING!! There is a living God who has your best in mind and wants to do something for you today that will bring back that excitement or passion, even in the middle of a crazy storm in your life. Because He loves you so much!!!!
If your not sure your on His team all you have to do is believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and Confess Him as your Saviour. You can always call me or write me if you want to know more about this amazing relationship with God!
Have a great week
And Go Cowboys!

Hey Josh,
I saw that you were a follower on my blog about Brice and decided to take a look at your blog. I couldn't help but comment about this post. Just tonight I was thinking about the Roy Williams trade and about life itself but in a different light as yourself. The Jason Kidd trade came to mind as well. To keep this comment from being extremely long, I think I will start another blog. If your interested, check it out.
