Passionately Following Jesus
When I saw this image on the front page of foxnews.com today, my jaw just dropped in shock. All we can do is pray for those who are injured and for the family of the one who has died, here is the story…

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — It seemed like an almost literal answer to their prayers.

I was listening to game 1 of the Atlanta Braves‘ double header against the New York Mets today on my way back to the office from lunch. The commentator was talking about some troubles that are taking place on the Mets’ squad, here is the philosophy of the commentator:
“It doesn’t matter whether you like or love each other on the team. All that matters is that you go out and play hard, and then go your separate ways after the game.”
I don’t believe I fully agree with this philosophy. Maybe on a sports team if you have a lot of individual talent, but then that talent can only take you so far. As well, when a team is built around hard work and talent, individuals have the tendency to do their own thing and go their own way. I believe it is important to have good re pore and unity amongst team members, a single focus and a single goal. This happens through strong relationships.
So, what’s your thoughts? Can a team (whether a sports team, a business team, a leadership team, a ministry team, etc.) win if everyone comes to their “job” works and plays hard, but never does anything to build relationships outside the job or even on the job?
How would you handle this situation? – What do you think should be done?

While I am on the road with my dad to pick up a baby grand piano in Ohio for my mom, I am not able to blog much. I have a couple of great items I am waiting to get on here, but until then, here is a little something I saw along the way:
“The Choice is Yours. Heaven or Hell. Scary Isn’t it?”
Since when is Heaven scary?
For some reason I always see signs like these in the mountains…that’s where this one was, on the top of a small mountain.
