Why do you think a seat, one specific seat would have such a significance on my life? Let me tell you why God has used this seat to impact my life.
First off, this is no ordinary seat. This seat has access to love, joy, thrill, excitement, nervousness, acceptance, belonging, home and family. This seat has been the thing that I has been missing in my life besides Jesus. This seat allows me to be me, but hold me accountable whenever I need my attitude checked. This seat has helped me establish the Christlike character qualities that I want to display in my life on a daily basis especially while I am teaching my students.
Now that you know the reasons why I love this amazing seat so much, do you want to know where it is located? Well let me tell you. This seat is located in the McCarthy Athletic Center on the Gonzaga University campus. It is in Section 108 Row 1 Seat 1. I believe this seat was hand chosen for me by God all those years ago when my dad and I got to chose our season ticket seats. This seat met all of the criteria that my dad and I had when we chose the seats. When you are in the arena, you will find this seat directly across from the Gonzaga Women's Basketball bench, on the floor, and right next to the tunnel that the players come out of every game. I have been sitting in this seat for the last 15 years and counting cheering and supporting the Gonzaga Women's Basketball Team. I have seen amazing basketball played, awesome wins and tough losses.
This seat has introduced me to some of the greatest people in my life. The people who are their each game either other fans, players or coaches I know consider family. I have stayed in contact with some former players who are now some of the best friends I could ever ask for and it is all because of this seat. I have full team autography basketballs as the players are required to come out and interact with their fans after every game no matter if they have won or lost. The players know my story and choose to accept me regardless. Also, I know they believe I am the best referee in the building as I call all the fouls that the referees miss on the floor that should have gone in their favor.
Now you have seen the importance that this seat has in my life. If you ever make it out to a Gonzaga Women's Basketball game, look for me. I guarantee that I will be in this seat. Come say hi, plus bring something to autograph as I will get the team to sign it.
Until Next Time,
