More Than A Game

    There’s something showing up in Seattle right now. It’s happening around our beloved Seahawks.

    I may not be the most devoted football fan, but I married into a football-loving family.  My husband was once the captain of his high school team, then he went on to play college ball. I fell in love with that young man—with his keen sense of strategy and determination to win—traits that were most likely shaped during his football years.

    What I observe now, decades later, is how the game brings people together. Not just family and friends, but even those we might say are “across the aisle” politically.

    Yes, I hope the Seahawks win. But I’m enjoying the unity that’s happening as we cheer together.

    It seems unity still finds us when we’re willing to gather around something shared. 

    "How good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity." Psalm 133:1
