Its an intense and intimidating experience to have 110,00 people chanting in unicen and it sure is powerful. This is another example of how sport can bring people from all walks of life to celebrate and focus on a common reality.
How much greater is it when we can come together and cheer about the savior of the world, Jesus Christ. Take a look at this cheer from a Russian Soccer game. They are cheering the ancient Easter greeting. When one Christian greets another they say "the Lord is risen" and the fellow Christian responds "He is risen indeed" or "He is truly risen."
We all have ways to show the teams we cheer for, whether its a shirt, a hat, a spray-painted goat, or a monogrammed pen. But our lives are representations of what we believe in and who we are. Faith alone will not suffice, "For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead." (James 2:26, NAB). Lets go show them who WE ARE.........

MAP.. I am going to have to send this to Scar as he would appreciate not only the post but the Penn State Cheer. AJ
