This is a sport's take, so you might want to turn your head. However, it is also a human interest story. I don't think God is really concerned who wins games and championships, but championship teams bring out the best in humans. Players have to get together and play as a team. A good team playing great together can beat a great team playing good. I must admit I am a basketball junkie and the most recent NBA finals were fantastic. The Dallas Mavs redeemed themselves after losing five years ago to the same Miami Heat (different players)team that came back to beat them. It was a story of resilience this year, but really more than that. It was a team that had a taste five years ago and had fallen. Yet, they kept coming back. This group came together with a new coach that had been dropped by teams after showing he was a good coach. I felt like he had been mistreated in the past. Good for coach Carlisle and his veteran team that wouldn't give up. Congrats.
*It's a long road in our Christian walk. It's a journey. It's a roller coaster...all that. Just keep plugging away. Do the right things. Hang in there. Victory is coming! Victory is promised. We have been redeemed. Praise the Lord, the most important redemption is not up to us. ---
