There was nothing I could do to earn this. 'I am the only pastor in professional sports with a Super Bowl ring,' he says, touching his heart with a heavy hand.
On one shank is engraved the score of the 1987 Super Bowl, and on the other the Giants helmet, season record and Dave Bratton's name. They form a miniature Super Bowl trophy, a glittering football on a glittering pedestal against an azure field. The diamonds on Dave Bratton's ring finger glitter as he folds his hands in prayer. When you think of pastoral hands, you do not think of Super Bowl rings. Hands that embrace Heaven and man, hands that are kissed, hands that are laid on. When you think of pastors, you think of hands.
Outfielder Billy (The Evangelist) Sunday, 1863-1935 Lord, have the people play the game of life right up to the limit, so that home runs may be scored. Some of them are dying on second and third base, Lord, and we don't want that. O Lord, give us some coaching out at this tabernacle, so that people can be brought Home to You.
