Winners and Losers

I'm sure you've been seeing plenty of stories about the up-coming big game (if you don't know what I'm talking about, I'll just leave you in your happy, non-sport world).  There's so much hype and build up to it that it will be all the more difficult for the team that doesn't get to raise the Lombardi trophy on Sunday evening.  I've been on the losing side at various times in my life, but never with millions of people watching me lose!
What do you do when your dreams are smashed?  I'm sure that there are some of you who have experienced greater losses than your team losing a game.  When you lose your job, home, loved-ones, or dream it can be devastating. It's hard to even have the strength to keep moving.
This Sunday morning we'll be looking at a person who experienced all of these losses and more. By considering how Daniel responded to these things we can be encouraged in our own losses. God is greater than our loss and that can give us hope when we would otherwise feel hopeless.  I hope to see you. (and GO HAWKS!)
