Prelude to the Super Bowl
25 years ago I spent the Thursday before the Super Bowl getting ready for a big party; at that time I was a Youth Minister at a large church in Lancaster, PA. The youth advisors and I spent the evening getting the games lined up, planned back-up activities in case the game was a blow out and finalized plans for the party.
Super Bowl XXI found the New York Giants battling the Denver Broncos. New York won the game and Phil Simms won the Most Valuable Player award. Does that mean the Giants will win and Eli will be the MVP?
We had a fun evening with the 30 or 40 kids who showed up at the Youth Center. I was exhausted when the evening concluded.
I am going to have a fun evening enjoying the Super Bowl at home. No big party this year! We are planning to have some friends over to enjoy a simple supper as we sit in the family room with a fire in the fireplace and our eyes glued to the TV watching OUR City entertain the watching world.
Here's to a great weekend! Enjoy it whether you are downtown or at home.
