On Devotions Before Football Practice: Calling to our aid those spiritual forces upon which the efficacy of our individual and collective efforts depends
I can't believe it. The weather forcast is for partly SUNNY on Sunday. Should be a good day for pictures and a nice day for fans to stop by at the Stewart Heights practice field of the Tacoma Invaders. And a good day to gather for prayers before practice.
Yeah, that's what I've been thinking about. Inviting players, coaches, and fans to come to practice each week an hour early ... to say prayers together.
May our lives be "distinguished for its devotional character." I have learned that collective worship of people of all faith backgrounds is a powerful force. "Uniting with others in prayer, turning [our] hearts in supplication to [our] Maker, and calling to [our] aid those spiritual forces upon which the efficacy of [our] individual and collective efforts depends" is good for the city of Tacoma, good for a football team that has Tacoma in its name, and good for its fans.
Join me at 1 p.m. at Stewart Heights Park. I'll have a circle of chairs. And there will be sunshine. God willing. -gw
