First off, let's discuss Kiff-Kiff. I really couldn't stand him in the beginning. I have developed a love for the Gators the last few years. I love Meyer, Spikes (despite the eye- gouging incident), Tebow, the Pouncey Twins, Cooper, Percy Harvin (Vikings, now...obviously), etc, etc, the list continues forever. After Kiffin made his multiple unneeded comments about Meyer, I began to develop a distaste for Lane-y boy. As time continued and I began looking at colleges, I started realizing that UTK was a serious option that is not going to leave me with thousands of dollars of debt. Successss. So, I began to appreciate Kiffin and his loud mouth... Now, as I just started loving the man, he leaves. Despite his somewhat classless move and implied insult to UT through his quick move to USC, my heart remains in tact, and I haven't felt the need to go burn any mattresses or tshirts with Kiffin's face on them.
Furthermore, my heart is broken by the recent chaos, hurt, and brokenness in Haiti. In the midst of the Kiffin dilemma, thousands upon thousands of people in Haiti lost their houses, lives, family, and darkness seemed to quickly wrap its arms around these lives. This whole catastrophe has literally broken me... I don't know how to put thoughts into words on this subject... My heart questions Abba about it, but I also thank Him for the plan He has already put into place to use this for His glory and renown. Pray for the brokenness...pray for people to look to Yahweh for comfort and salvation... Don't just have compassion... but act on it. Be HIS hands and feet to this hurting and dying world. Forget Lane Kiffin, the NFL, and coach purses and remember the Savior, the dying (spiritually and physically), and the hurting. Remember the big brown eyes of the people of Haiti. Love your brothers and sisters. Hold the least of these. Press your palms to the wounds of the broken.
