I am a Hockey Fan. I am a Red Wings fan. God in all his wisdom called me to Pittsburgh. His sense of humor shines when I arrive in Pittsburgh during the Stanley cup playoffs in which my team the Red Wings are battling the Penquins.
I am used to a hockey crazed town. Growing up in Detroit as a young boy, I was used to seeing Red and White everywhere. I know about the Octopus, the whole deal.
Being in Pittsburgh during the Stanley Cup was like being in a foreign land. There was no Red and White. All this Black and Gold. Pure torture.
A few things to be said. How can you not respect the Penguins. Coming off a huge game 5 loss, they showed a lot of heart. The fans in Pittsburgh are really great. Watching everyone in our church celebrate was really cool (though personally painful).
Pittsburgh is a cool town, just in the sports area. I really have enjoyed it my first few weeks here. I can empathize with having teams like the Pirates. Almost as bad as being a Lions fan.
The coolest thing is God is a fan of us, not teams, not cities, not players. I know there was much "praying" in two cities during the Stanley Cup. But the greatest piece is that he loves me and knows where I am, regardless of city.
