What in the world was Boomer Esaison thinking when he openly criticized the major league baseball player for missing a game when his son was born? Of course, Daniel Murphy did not want anything to come between him and the birth of his son--but Easiason the announcer set the new standard that a big league player ought to hire a nurse. The firestorm of rebuke proved him dead wrong and wrung from him the apology for creating such havoc right around the birth of their son. Where do announcers get off setting such standards for others when the paternity leave is a given for big league players? It certainly is not the first time!
But that's the modern world for us--so caught up in it that once again they miss the birth...and in the same way God still sneaks into our world. If Lent is anything, it should change our routine and open our eyes to see God coming into the world in human flesh. Then again, we did miss him the first time around in Bethlehem, didn't we!
