I think God takes delight in Benjamin Franklin's wit and in Tiger Woods's putts and in some well-crafted narrative paragraphs in a Salman Rushdie novel, even if these accomplishments are in fact achieved by non-Christian people....I think God enjoys these things for their own sakes."
If Mouw's thesis is correct, then I think God was particularly delighted by today's NCAA tournament games. It was a fantastic day of college hoops and interspersed studying for midterms. I am hoping to see 35-plus from Durant tomorrow afternoon.

did you do a bracket thingy? I don't know how to do one but I've sure enjoyed the madness. Those T-Mobile commercials with Dwayne Wade and Charles Barkley about their "five" crack me up!
A finely-crafted hoops & theology post. Sorry about the UT game today...I had Texas facing KU in the championship, and I'm pretty surprised that USC won by such a large margin. I wonder if God enjoyed that game? ;)
Kebby, I filled out a few, but now that Texas lost, my bracket is a little shot.
Ariel, thanks. I guess I am pulling for the Jayhawks from here on. As to God's enjoyment of that particular game, I think it best in this situation to refrain from speculation (Deut 29.29) and keep my mouth shut.
welcome to my world
Hi.
Here via a link from Ariel. On a serious note, I agree with you re: God's enjoying his creation.
Less seriously, I jumped on the UT bandwagon only to be thrown off. (Mizzou '82,'84,'87) Given that I cannot abide anything Jayhawk related, it looks like its the A&M Aggies.
Cheers.
Mr. Sherman,
I think I will be glad if either do well. I have been surrounded by many many boastful Aggies though so I would hate to give them another reason for more.
