Welcome to my 2013 version of Super Bowl trivia, about last night’s big game. You know the type, the slightly off, somewhat trivial kind of questions you won’t just find just anywhere. Before we start, congratulations to the Baltimore Ravens for winning a real turn out the lights kind of game. Let’s begin:

Here are the answers 1-b 2-d 3-c 4- a 5-c 6-a 7-b 8-b 9-a 10-c 11-d
The point of these somewhat trivia questions is that although I hope you found them entertaining they are of no lasting significance. Do something big today and the next year it is forgotten or relegated to a memory of a select few. However, when you do something big or little for God, He never forgets. May we remember to do the important, meaningful things God asks of us whether anyone notices or not. Then truly we can say like Jack Harbaugh used to say to his boys,Who has it better than us? - NOBODY.
