Music to my ears

Hey folks, sorry its been a while since my last original post.  Life has been pretty hectic these last couple of weeks, I hope you all had a blessed Holy Week and Easter Sunday.  The celebration has continued this week with Divine Mercy Sunday (click for more info).  Now is a time, the time, for celebration. And what do people do when the get together to celebrate.............they drink?!, well they do that too but thats not what I mean.  They get together and cheer. If you're from Pennsylvania or are one of the 19.7 trillion people who have gone to Penn State University chances are you have heard this cheer.



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.........
