Clash of the Champions
I will be leaving these hallowed halls of my place of employement, today at 12. First time that I have actually left work early, for personal reasons. I am going to the DC United vs Chelsea soccer game, titled "Clash of the Champions.
One of my passions is soccer, I love watching it and playing it. However, I havent played in almost 2 years.
One thing, this is way off subject of the soccer game, but Parke said, in his comment to my last blog, that one of the reasons why he writes his blog, is to teach himself. To this comment I must say AMEN!!
I know that, for me at least, when I have a problem, I talk it out. God does impart wisdom to us, when we seek it. A lot of the times, I feel, that the answer is right there, but we need to see it ourselves.
By writing in this blog, it has helped me see certain things that I have gone through and seen some of Gods wisdom, that He has graciously given me. Honestly, it makes me feel as though I am "smarter" than I usually am. However, just knowing that God has chosen me, and has chosen me to empart certain pieces of wisdom, fills me with great joy.
I thank you, those few people that actually take time to read my babbling thoughts. Through you, God also emparts wisdom upon me. Sometimes, we take life and run with it and lose site of what really is important.
In the song "Oh Sister" by Bob Dylan, in the second verse it says:
Oh Sister, am I not a brother to you?
Is not our purpose the same on this earth?
To Love, and follow His direction.
Ultimately, Bob hits the nail on the head. Our calling, as Christians, is to Love your neighbor. (Not the couple that lives next door to you, but all, regardless of their lifestyle). And to follow His direction, which has been graciously given to us through the Bible.
Well, I guess thats all I have to say at this point, except for one thing.....
GO DC UNITED, beat Chelsea.......(My honest opinion, even though DC is 2-0 vs league teams from England, none have been to the calibur of Chelsea, so I think that DC will lose, but it will be valuable experience and who knows, maybe some of the DC players will move on to play in the EPL). I know Chelsea has already said that they have Freddy Adu in their sights.
Please pray for me and my friends, as we go to this mass hysteria and that we all return safely and that our encounters with Hooligans is peaceful.
God Bless to all my friends out there. Keep reading, keep commenting, and be brutally honest. I can take it. If you feel I'm full of dog feces, please let me know. Its a good way to learn, from other people who may be wiser, at the time about the subject, than me.
Until next time, Ciao!!
