I did something on Wednesday evening that is very hard for an Alabama fan to do. I actually did something nice for an LSU fan. It doesn't discredit my loyalty for the Tide but it did do something a lot bigger and that it displayed the love of Christ in front of people we didn't even know.

Paul says in Romans 14:19 - "So let us pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another."

When I think of the word "pursue" I can't help but go back into my childhood and remember the number two most famous cop on television to a child.

#1 was Barny Fife (and all of God's people said Amen!)
But #2 in my book was a man they called Roscoe P. Coltrain. And when he would get after the Duke boys he would make the statement, "I am in hot pursuit". He was giving it all he had to get to accomplish what he needed to accomplish.

Hot pursuit. That should be our drive everyday to reach out as the scripture says and help build someone else up. Folks who evacuated from the south due to the hurricane found themselves in enemy territory. If you wear an LSU shirt only 30 miles from Tuscaloosa, you are in enemy territory. But they were in need.

We may not be able to return home with them and help them physically rebuild or clean up from the damage the may have incurred. But we can build them up emotionally and spiritually. As our church fed these people a hot meal, that is exactly what we were doing. We were "building up one another" and letting them know that God loves LSU fans too!

Prayer - "Lord, help us to have the mind of being in "hot pursuit" to help build someone else up. Though we maybe down and find our self having a bad day, cause us to run across someone who is having a worse day so we can be a light to them through you!"
