Identification

Football playoffs are here.  Someone's team is going to win it all, everyone else is going to lose somewhere along the way.

Some folks take losing really hard.  I'm from Kansas City.  We have had so many years of bad baseball and bad football, we got used to going to the baseball games and just enjoying watching good players play, even if they were usually on the other team.

Anyway, since many are going to be disappointed, I got to thinking.  What is the main thing in life that I identify with?  What are the main things that we identify with?

Republican or Democrat
Baptist or Methodist
Kansas City Chiefs fan
Cleveland Browns fan
follower of Jesus Christ
or what else?

It occurs to me that if the Chiefs lose, I need to remember that my primary life journey goal or focus is not being a Chiefs fan.  My primary life journey goal is to live a life that emulates and shares the love of Jesus Christ.

If the person you voted for lost, you can still live and fulfill your main life purpose, emulating and sharing the love of God.

If your church splits,  you can still live and fulfill your main life purpose, emulating and sharing the love of God.

If your team loses,  you can still live and fulfill your main life purpose, emulating and sharing the love of God.

Let's remember to keep the main thing the main thing.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
