Sports...Journal 6

Sports have never really been of interest to me. Through out my life they have been a source of boredom for me. This may be that I grew with my mom and she was never interested in sports. Or whenever I did play sports I was always chosen last when picking teams. Somehow over time it just never kept its hold on my life. So movies about sports, sports analogies, and sporting events—they all lose my attention really quick.

I do not think God has ever spoken to me through sports. I can think of many sermons in which the pastor related a passage or something to sports and lost me. Finding God in televised sports is difficult for me. I know the First Corinthians passage of running a race, so I am not completely unwilling to believe God will speak through sports.

However, I don’t really know what God is speaking to me now about sports. Others may be getting something, but not me. I am trying to remain open to God showing me something through sports, but it this is one of the hard areas for me to see it.
