Well, here we are once again engulfed in "March Madness." Whether or not you are a sports fan, it can be hard to move through the month of March without hearing someone somewhere mention the March Madness NCAA Basketball Tournaments. All of the attention is certainly exhilarating if we choose to invest ourselves inside the madness. With this in mind, let me pose several questions for reflection:
1. How invested are you in March Madness? (If you are not invested much at all, skip to question 4.)
2. What might people say about your investment in this sports madness?
3. What do you think of people who seem to be more invested in it than you?
4. What are other aspects of your life that seem to carry their own madness?
5. How do you tend to handle this madness?
6. Are your modes of handling this madness genuinely productive for your physical, emotional, and spiritual welfare?
7. If your answer to #6 is "Yes," than the challenge for you is to share those modes with someone else going through his or her own madness.
8. If your answer to #7 is "No," than the challenge for you is ask someone you admire for help in handling your madness.
We should not have to undergo our madness alone. The world sends us a lot of madness sometimes and not just in the month of March, so remember, we are all in this together. There is no madness too great for the Spirit to subdue if we allow the Spirit to transform us.
May we be ever-faithful, ever-mindful, and ever-joyful.
