The Odds of "Broadway" Joe Namath

Joe Namath made the Fur Coat famous as a Jet and wore it to the Super Bowl
My goodness!  I saw that fur coat of Namath's and I knew it from my boyhood!  He made it famous as a NY Jet when the franchise was just beginning--and he made the coat stick because he had the stats and accomplishments to back it up. That's Broadway Joe alright--and he earned the right to wear it.

But hold on Joe--what happened with that coin toss?  You forgot to ask the Seahawks captain to call it--heads or tails!  So, th3e ref intercepted the coin and started it all over.  You got away with that one as well because of who you are.  Accomplishment needs no excuses!

So who are we?  And do we need excuses?  Maybe apologies...  but we are so very human after all --no matter how the odds work one way or another.  If you are children of the living God, you are clothed in righteousness that is indelible--there forever!  God clothes us with his life, of Jesus Christ, and we need no excuses, none whatsoever--just apologies that come from the riches of God's grace that forgives all.
