As those of you who watched the Saints-Patriots game last night already know, last night's game was incredible. While the Saints played an unbelievable game on both sides of the ball, the story of the night almost had to be Mike McKenzie, who up until 12 days ago was an unemployed athelete. Check out what he told Peter King in
Sports Illustrated today -
"Here's the most startling thing of all:
McKenzie, healthy but frustratingly unemployed, called Saints coach Sean Payton 12 days ago, desperate for a job.
"When
I saw a few guys go down with injuries, I just picked up the phone and
called Coach Payton,'' McKenzie said. "When I left last March, he was
real good about it. He said, 'Stay ready. And make sure you come
around. Don't be a stranger.' So I called, and I told him I was in good
shape and ready to play, and he said they were going to bring me in
next Monday to look at me.'"
I don't know what's going on in your world, but when you read a story like this you have to ask yourself the question - "Am I ready? If opportunity came knocking tomorrow would I be ready?" The next question would have to be "Am I actively looking and praying for opportunities."
What a great story . . .
