I root for a professional baseball team that hasn't won a World Series in several decades. When I was young I saw them win twice but didn't appreciate it as much as I would not because I didn't realize what they had accomplished. It happened very quickly after I started following this team. I fear that I will die before they win another World Series. They have a slight chance this year--but I would think it probably won't happen. As a Christian I know that I am sinning because I am making something a god. I'm also not putting my trust in God that things will turn out as they should. I know that it is for entertainment and should not be my life. I am blowing up something that in the long run isn't important. A few years ago my team lost a Game 163 and I went through serious depression and had "flashbacks" from it for two years. I don't want that to happen again. I don't want to get into a sports discussion. I want to remove this wall. I want to know what I can do. I have taken it to God and confessed that I am making a god of something that I should not. I am asking for direction in this.
