Olympics and Unity

The Olympics officially ended yesterday with the Americans (USA, USA) winning the most medals…again. If these Olympics were anything, it was weird. A strange opening ceremony that got people all in their feels, surfing in French Polynesia, e.coli in the River Sine, and other disruptions. We could focus on all that did not go right or we could focus on all that united us. Whether it was watching our women trance all other track and field athletes, strange Australian break dancers, or Steph Curry shooting over a 7’4” Wemby to win gold for America; there was much to unify us in a divided, political atmosphere. Paul talks about running the race. We run the race, because we know there are many rooting us on. We keep going, in unity, to reach where we know we truly belong! This is a lesson for the Church. We must focus on what makes us who we are, rather than what we think we are not. Unify and love one another. These are commandments of our Lord Jesus. So, cheer and enjoy! God is with us as we race together.  

Grace and Peace!
