if you know anything about me you know that I am very passionate about the things that I love most...
a list of a few things that I love the most...
- Jesus Christ
- family
- friends
- Auburn football
- Camp
- YoungLife
passion can sometimes seem obnoxious, however let me tell you that it is not meant to be obnoxious, I want to share my love with others. whether it's actual love or if it's my love for something.
if you know anything about me you also know that I love and am passionate about Auburn football...
so with that being said, I am not trying to be an obnoxious fan. I wish that people knew me best understood that. not that I have to justify why I love and have a reason to love and be passionate about Auburn football, I am going to go ahead and justify it just so you can hopefully better understand.
- my first words second to mama and dada were War Eagle
- my first Auburn game was when I was oh... still in diapers. don't know my exact age.
- all growing up the only thing I did during the fall on weekends was road trip to Auburn with my mom
- I am a student at Auburn University
- My mother went to Auburn University
- I bleed orange and blue
I will not apologize for being a passionate fan because I bleed orange and blue. just like I would not apologize to a non-Christian because he/she doesn't like me talking about Jesus... I am not sorry that I am passionate about these two things. maybe I shouldn't relate Jesus and Auburn football... but it's an easy analogy for people to understand. I don't expect people that go for Alabama to apologize to me because they love their team. It would be NO fun if we all went for the same team. so... let's be proud of our state for having two consecutive Heisman winners and two consecutive (praying) National Championship winning teams. there is no perfect fan... and let's take a look back at this time a year ago... Alabama fans sure were obnoxious.
my inspiration for the end of this post is going to be some of my favorite lines from the Auburn Creed:
I believe in honesty and truthfulness,
without which I cannot win the respect
and confidence of my fellow men.
I believe in a sound mind,
in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid
I believe in my Country,
because it is a land of freedom
and because it is my own home,
and that I can best serve that country by
"doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with my God."
