Happy Quarterbacks


         I heard two commentators talking about Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck potentially playing together for the Indianapolis Colts. They noted that-were this to occur-one quarterback would surely not be happy.
         The other commentator mentioned Aaron Rogers and Brett Favre playing together on the Green Bay Packers, and Joe Montana and Steve Young competing for the quarterback job with the San Francisco 49ers. Both the Packers and 49ers won Super Bowls under all four quarterbacks.
         Then the question arose: was one of those four quarterbacks ever unhappy? Absolutely. Nevertheless, most fans were pleased with the outcome. To them, it was better to gain the victory than it was to have happy quarterbacks.
          I wonder if God thinks the same for us? Happiness is not the priority. What is important is to gain the eternal victory.

  1. Gotta add to that list Loyal Proffitt & Mark Edge! Reminds of C.S. Lewis' quip that God isn't interested in making us happy but rather in making us holy.

  2. I gotta to love that blast from the past! Loyal was so much better than me, even I was happy he was playing. Great C. S. Lewis quote by the way. Thanks.
