Our annual fantasy draft was held at my house on Wednesday. I usually serve chili so that wasn’t a huge surprise to anyone when they arrived for their feast. I think I was surprised when I was asked for chocolate. As my Grandfather’s granddaughter I happened to have a huge selection from which to choose so we were rather energized by the time the draft actually started.

I drafted second. This is sub-optimal for many reasons. One, you’re forced into picking one of the top three guys {LeSean McCoy was my pick} and two you have to wait until everyone behind you has gone twice before you can pick again. My team is relatively decent but not amazing. I think I can make it work.

Afterwards I was exhausted, much like I am on Sundays after preaching. My husband laughed at this and then we got to talking a little bit about how the church is like fantasy football. There’s no control over your team and you pretty much have to have absolute faith that things will work out and not make changes or do anything drastic without considerable thought as it can make or break your year.

Here’s my team as it stands right now.  I’m not overly confident but it is what it is.  Let me know what you think.
