Crosstown Classic

I have been a Cubs fan all my life. Last night I had two first time experiences. It was my first time to sit on top of a rooftop at Wrigley. Actually, we stood on the rooftop. It was also the first time I have attended a Cubs vs White Sox game. It was definitely a lot of fun.

I am amazed by the passion of those who were in attendance. At the end of the game, after the Cubs had won, all the Cub fans broke out in a resounding refrain of Go Cubs Go. They continued singing as the left the ballparks and out into the streets. Go Cubs Go.

If we held half the passion in worship on Sunday morning as the fans of these teams had, it would be an incredible experience. Imagine marching out of the church - Go God Go.

What may be ironic, is I wonder how many of those fans, passionately singing as they walked out of the ballpark will sit in their chairs on Sunday morning with a blank stare on their face.

I find myself the opposite. For the most part I am reserved at the ballpark. I have been known to give a high five or two. But I enjoy watching the game more than cheering. But worship is something that is different. My Savior is something really worth cheering about. I pray I will never be as retrained as I am at the ballpark.
