Due to time restraints....some weeks I will be giving a synopsis of sermon, instead of full text. By the way, this is one of those weeks.
Lamar Hunt Story...
What's in a name?
Credit a bouncy rubber ball for coining the name "Super Bowl."
In 1967, the game debuted as the "AFL-NFL World Championship Game." Realizing this was too cumbersome, Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt suggested "Super Bowl" after watching his daughter play with a Super Ball. It was meant to be a temporary moniker, but the media latched on to it.
"Super Bowl" appeared on a ticket for the first time in the fourth championship. The previous three games were later retroactively given the name Super Bowl as well.
Hunt died in December. The ball that inspired the "Super Bowl" remains on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
Question posed to congregation is...."What if Lamar Hunt had been too busy with his day to day routine to be inspired by the bouncing of the ball?
Our issue--How often are we too consumed with our day to day that we miss the quiet whispers of God given inspiration in our own lives?
Listen....we may be surprised by what we hear.
