Wednesday Nights

Tonight was a community pep rally for the high school football team.  I like the idea of bringing the community together to support our teams, and Gonzales does a better job then most other cities I've lived in.  We bleed orange here. 

But the problem with that first statement is tonight is Wednesday night.

Now I'm not one for we do it that way because it's always been done that way UNLESS there is a valid reason for something.  In our society Wednesday nights have been sacred, second only to Sundays.  If you were an organization, you didn't meet on Wednesday nights out of respect for church. 

PTA, Scouts, boosters, etc, etc etc met Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thurdays.  Rarely Fridays, but they were open if necessary in non-football season. 

I know many members of the booster club that sponsor these rallies and know that they belong to churches that meet on Wednesdays, so I know they understand that Wednesdays are the time many churches teach our teens about God and responsibilities. And yet they continue to schedule these rallies on Wednesdays. 

So my questions are, is football really more important that God? What are we teaching our kids about priorities?

God Bless,
