Refuge Super Bowl Party

I have to say that XLIII was one of the best Super Bowl games that I have seen in awhile. I was originally rooting for the Steelers, but the day prior to the big game I decided to change my mind. I didn’t really care for either team, but I was pretty confident that the Steelers were going to win. I started thinking about the fact that if they did win they would take the title of “Most Super Bowl Wins” away from the Dallas Cowboys. I couldn’t be cheering for that. I also started thinking about Kurt Warner’s testimony, and that is why I switched teams.

I was really getting discouraged about the game with the Cardinals being down until in the fourth quarter they ran the football for a huge touchdown taking the lead. Everyone in my house with the exception of a few started yelling and going crazy, but our joy quickly crumbled when the Arizona defense threw the game away. It was a sad day in NFL History.

Besides the outcome of the game, it was an awesome night. We had 12 teenagers all hyped up on caffeine at our home, which resulted into an energy packed night. We had students having light saber / Nerf wars, playing video games, chasing our poor dog, and all kinds of other crazy things. At one point I think they were trying to see how many people they could fit into a small bathroom. To top it all off one of our students picked up our nervous dog, and it peed all over him. We watched a 3D preview of Monsters vs. Aliens followed by a devotional from Ephesians chapter 6 titled “Put on Your Football Pads and Get In the Game”. It was a blast I couldn’t have asked for a better Super Bowl party. Below are some of the pictures. They aren’t that great, because I took them with a camera phone, but you get the idea.
