A quick break from 'Just' war. Listening to the Arsenal - Manchester United game it seems obvious that not only have Arsenal let any chance of the FA Cup slip from their grasp but they have also shot down their Premier League Championship hopes as well now. So what can football teach us now I wonder?
Humility? Try being an Arsenal supporter tomorrow, especially if you work with Man U or Chelski fans, I think humility (or a place to hide) will be a necessity.
Honesty? Was the referee as biased as will be claimed (or was it merely incompetence)? What was the truth and will you engage with it?
Hope? Hope in men, even those overpaid, over-inflated ego superstars is flawed and destined to lead to failure. Best put your hope in God - He'll never let you down.
Patience? Been a long time since any silverware was lifted by an Arsenal player (excluding of course the Youth and ladie's teams). How comes people are so patient with their teams when they exhibit so little patience with people - how can we get this virtue to cross into our faith life?
There's more to consider, but this will do for now and I leave you with a question:
What do you gain from your sport and how does it add to (or diminish) your faith life?
