One of the things I like about team sports is that they can be played even if people don’t necessarily have the ability to communicate.  Most of the major sports have a common “language” that consists of the way the game is played.  One hockey player can set another one up for an assist even if one speaks Czech and the other speaks English.  On the baseball diamond, infielders who speak Japanese, English and Spanish can all turn a double play.  Now, while activity can sometimes speak louder than words, at some point, there is a benefit to learning each other’s language.  So, if you were a team athlete, where would you put the emphasis of learning to communicate?  I would suspect you would start learning the language that applies to the game you play.  You may not be fluent in another language, but learning certain words can make life easier and productivity better.

The reason I bring this up is to challenge us to learn the language of spirituality.  It shouldn’t matter if we are millennials, republicans, wealthy or aliens when we share a spiritual relationship we should be able to work together to make our efforts more productive.  When we have common beliefs and a willingness to be a team player we can all make a difference. 

Are we hoping to have a spiritual impact?  Let’s find some others who share our passion and put together a winning team!

Think About It!
