Saints QB Drew Brees was named MVP of Super Bowl XLIV after leading his team to a 31-17 win against the Colts.
Sometimes things happen. We do not know why and making sense out of it seems impossible. Know that everything
happens for a reason and that if we keep the faith, reasons are revealed as we progress on our journey.
The Chargers were playing against the Broncos in 2005 when Drew Brees suffered the worst shoulder injury that the
famous Doctor James Andrews had ever seen. His arm bone actually came out of his shoulder socket and the chance
of him returning to the NFL as a top performer was about 1%.
Surgery was performed and rehab was started. The only two teams that showed interest were the Miami Dolphins and
the New Orleans Saints. The Saints were coming off a dismal 3 – 13. They had just signed a new head coach Sean
Payton and the city was still trying to recover from hurricane Katrina.
Brees looked at this as a blessing. He felt that this could be God sent and that he and his family could do more in
New Orleans than just play football. They could make a difference to the city of New Orleans and be involved with
something bigger than football itself.
Ask Drew if God has a plan.
