God in the Ordinary

A few days ago, I posted my thoughts on God’s interest in everyday, technically non-religious, and seemingly non-spiritual events like football games.

In this morning’s meditation from Richard Rohr, he does a better job of saying the same thing:

God’s revelations are through the concrete and specific.

We have created an artificial divide or dualism between the spiritual and the so-called non-spiritual.

Biblical revelation is saying that we are already spiritual beings; we just don’t know it yet

 

Here’s to our learning just that!

Richard Rohr’s daily meditations are found through his Center for Action and Contemplation website.

Thank You for making us a part of This

Does the Almighty care about football games?  Of course He does.  The Almighty cares about all of His creation.

If a part of Almighty’s creation turns itself toward the Almighty, acknowledges the Almighty as power and source, dedicates itself and its life to the Almighty, works with Joy in the Almighty’s influence, calls it fun and joyous, and gives credit back to the Almighty with gratitude for making it a part of the Almighty’s manifestation, how would the Almighty not care?

That process…from willingly turning toward Source…to gratitude for being part of the Whole Thing…is what creation is all about.  That’s why we Are.  That’s why It Is.

My thoughts on tonight’s National Championship

Is the world ready for an affirmation of how Dabo Swinney is raising these young men and starting them off on their lives?

Yes, I know…this is about football.  It’s a game.

It’s all a game.  The key point is how you play the game.  And not just that; it’s how you prepare for the game, respond to the winning and losing of the game, and deal with every play.

Clemson Tigers are taught about life…and football is the language they are taught in.

Dabo Swinney, beloved inspirational speaker, has opened his heart to God and dedicates his presence, his words, and his actions to communicating to players, coaches, fans, spectators, and even people from Alabama, what it means to align oneself…one’s life…with God.

Bless him.

And God bless the Clemson Tigers.

Go Tigers!  I’m ALL IN.
