racing

I helped lead some worship tonight on “The Race”. I decided life was like a fun run as for too long I've been living it like a marathon whilst carrying the world on my shoulders so it's been good to lighten up a bit. We reflected on the concept of winning. Not being a sporty type, the example I brought was from Pixar's Cars, whereas the other worship leader had great examples of real people choosing to forfeit first place by helping someone else. I'm not really into winning/losing/competing but I understand people's compulsion to be the best they can be. And I'm all in favour of supporting one another to get each other to a place where we can then celebrate and rest awhile. You'll find me on the bench with my placards of encouragement and sweets in my pocket.
