Still living? Then you have a future

You know, I only reminisce on my footy days to teach people about religion. So an old teammate and I were reminiscing on our time at the East Wagga Kooringal Hawks Football Club when I kicked yet another goal against Narrandera – a real David and Goliath match-up.

It was a wet ground, like in the days of Noah, but did that scare me? No.

I fought like Isaiah against the prophets of Baal!

How did I kick yet another goal? I saw a particularly tough ruck going on, but fearlessly went in like Daniel into the lions’ den!

A couple of Narrandera players tried to shepherd me, and not like Jesus, but I pushed through them like Samson through the Philistines.

I dove in and picked off that ball like Eve picking off the forbidden fruit, splitting the fierce Narrandera pack like Moses parting the Red Sea.

After this heroic performance, of Biblical proportions, I kicked a goal like … hmmm, I can’t remember anyone in the Bible who actually kicked an Australian Rules goal.

But I remember so very clearly kicking that goal against Narrandera … or did I only kick a behind?

We are creating the past of our future now, and this is an exciting possibility. Teenagers will sometimes tell me “Father, my life is ruined!” Or even “my life is over!” But nobody can honestly say this, not even the elderly – only the dead.
