I am going to rant a bit today. I love the Royals, but I love baseball more, and I love people more than sports.
We went to the games when the Royals were terrible because we loved
baseball. Just because we have won the
world series and our team appears to be emerging from 30 years of funk does not
give us the right to hurt others.
Sometimes we get
too hung up on “our team”or “our colors.”
I am fine with you rooting for whomever you want, but it is never
appropriate to throw our colors into other people’s faces. Some people think it’s funny to make fun of
KU or the Mets or whomever. It
isn’t. People are attached to their
teams, just as we are. Enjoy the game
but never forget, it is only a game. We
should not be hurting each other by insisting that our tribe is better than
their tribe, even if others have treated us that way. If you are with a friend and they are
watching their team, root for their team, even if it isn’t your team. After all, your friend is on your team isn’t
he or she? Let’s learn to root for
everybody. I think that is what Jesus would do.
It’s a beautiful day in God’s world, be sure to see the
good.

This is a bit of a stretch, but thinking about sports and banners, my mind strayed to how much I love the Christian song "His Banner Over Me Is Love."
