“in ways that would horrify us if we could but see them” – you speak truth! If we could just see from God’s perspective (or even the other person’s perspective!), I’m sure we’d be surprised at how ugly we can be. I know I’m guilty as well. Lord, give us vision! Thanks so much for this, Juliet.

I assume University of Georgia? You are one of our rivals, if so. 🙂 When my youngest went to the AU-GA game a couple years ago, she was impressed at how sweet the Georgia students were from their Christian group (I don’t remember which group now). Yes, it is possible to be nice to those of other teams. Thanks for being one of those, Sarah. 🙂

I’m sure all of us are like that, Ceil–not quite as open to others as we need to be. The beauty begins when we become aware of our blind spots. Then the Lord can turn them inside out. Being known as “the sister who listens” is a wonderful thing to aspire to. Love that!

I love that, Lisha–“this is the gospel.” It is all about love. How complicated we can twist it otherwise. Thanks for sharing, friend.

I think there are a lot more sports fans among the women folk than we give credit for. 🙂 And lots of lessons that sports can teach us about the rest of life, yes! Thanks, Amy.

Thanks, Kelli. I appreciate your encouragement.

I’m glad you mentioned there is a distinction between belonging and fitting in. I’m not sure I’ve ever really thought about it in terms of definition, but you’re so right. Thanks for a clarifying moment, Jen!
