"Is there anything too hard for Me?"

I am a huge Denver Broncos fan. I have been a fan of the team for 30 seasons now. Through it all, I've been there as a fan for the ups and downs. Losing 3 Super Bowls in 4 years. Failing to get by Jacksonville in the divisional round in 1996. Finally winning the Super Bowl in 1997. Then winning the Super Bowl again in 1998. Getting upset by Baltimore in 2012. Being crushed by Seattle in the Super Bowl.

Following the Broncos is like being on the wildest roller coaster ride on earth. I am or have been an avid fan of other teams in football and other sports. But I simply cannot find a reasonable comparison to what it is like being a Broncos fan.

When it came to Super Bowl 50, about 10 days before the game, I prayed with my son Davin that the Broncos would prepare well and execute better. I do believe in the power of prayer. I am convinced that everything matters to God. It does not matter if it is a sporting event, what I eat for breakfast or what profession I hold. God cares about it all. It is we as humans who choose whether we want to believe that something matters to God.

Sure. I would love for the Broncos to win every Super Bowl or to at least alternate with the Dolphins. It would be nice. However, there are many factors which exist beyond my control. What is within my control though is prayer. I believe in the power of prayer and that it can effect change.

While Super Bowl 50 was not executed to perfection, the Broncos certainly played far better than nearly all of the so-called experts thought. Listening to all of the arm chair prognosticators out there, you would have thought Carolina would win 55-10, 42-10 or 43-8. Thankfully, the game is played on the field and not in the head of a bunch of football geniuses.

In answer to God's question, the answer is "NO". The Denver Broncos proved that point on February 7, 2016 in spite of the overwhelming majority of opinions out there speaking to the contrary. These people all know who they are. Many of them were the same naysayers stating that Denver would be rolled by Green Bay in Super Bowl XXXII and even some of them pinned Atlanta as the favorites the next year in Miami.

Broncos fan for life!
