Yesterday I bought an antenna for our TV, and I'm glad I did, because Marian and I got to see the spectacular finish to the BYU vs Nebraska football game. When I first set up the antenna, I was frustrated because it didn't seem to be working. Thankfully after a few minutes of readjusting and trying different things it started to work.
BYU was down by just one point and we got the ball with less than a minute on the clock. After a few plays, we were still out of field goal range, and now only 1 second was left on the clock. The play call was obvious; it was time for a Hail Mary pass. The result was an unbelievable catch that won BYU the game and ended a 29 year home-opener winning streak for Nebraska. In case you haven't seen the clip, here's a link where you can watch it.

My difficulty with the antenna is a lot like communicating with God. Sometimes it takes multiple efforts and patient adjusting on our part in order to pick up and maintain a strong signal. So if you're prayers ever seem to go unanswered, that doesn't mean that God is not there or that He isn't responding. More likely we just need to learn to adjust ourselves to tune in to hear His divine voice.
