Reflections From Sunday Evening

I am tempted to write about sports today.  The Royals are finishing up the end of an era.  The last five years have been really good for baseball in K.C.  But now it is time to move into the off season and see what it looks like on March 29, 2018.  But I don't want to write about sports today.
Maybe a little more about sports...In the old, old days when the Chiefs were as good as any team in football they had a transition time with their roster.  In the 1970's they went with loyalty and held on to some great veterans who made the Chiefs the great team they were.  And they ended up with decades of futility for it.  There comes a time to say thank you and move into the next phase.
One more thing about sports.  Russell Westbrook signed a 205 million dollar contract to play basketball.  That is all.
That is enough sports.
Oh yes, one more thing.  NW Missouri had an amazing comeback win to stay undefeated. 
One more thing...Baker is undefeated at 6-0.  In case you had been wondering.
That really is enough.
Surely there is a transition to faith in this somewhere.  Perhaps the lesson lies in "turn the page".  God's mercies are fresh every morning.  Turn the page.
The Resurrection of Jesus makes every day a new possibility filled with hope.  Turn the page.
The faith is always moving with growth and depth of insight.  Turn the page.
The Church is always on the move.  Turn the page.
There is no resting on past success or victory.  Turn the page.
The possibility of reaching a new person for Jesus Christ propels us forward.  Turn the page.
So there you have it.  Sports, faith, church.
Turn the page.  The story of your life and your church and your faith continues to be written.
It's been a good day.  I hope you've had a good day too.
