We aren't watching the Super Bowl today. We are recording it and the kids will get to check the score in the morning before school so they can have "street cred" with all the boys at school who will be talking about who won.
I think the Second Coming will take place on a Super Bowl Sunday. And, I think many members of the church will be caught by surprise, in their football jersey with hot wing sauce dripping from their chins. They'll say, "But hey, we blessed the Seven Layer Taco Dip, doesn't that count for anything?!" And, if He comes before the final score, I imagine that there will be much weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth.
I love our Stake President. He purposely (I think anyway) plans Stake General Priesthood Meeting on Super Bowl Sunday every year. As a former Bishop said to me today, "It's a 'sheep' and 'goats' kind of thing." You should hear the moaning and complaining about it to Mark. Mark's answer is always, "It's your choice - your priesthood duty or the Super Bowl."
At our house, we are recording it and although it will have less excitement next week for our boys, they will still get to watch it. In fact, it will be better because we can buzz through all the boring, "standing around doing nothing" parts that Football games always have too much of.
At least our ward meets at 9am. Nobody had to cut out early for a "family obligation" or try to look at the score on their Blackberry without anyone seeing. If the Second Coming happens today, at least our ward can say, "Hey, we went to church first!"
