The Meaning of Sports

Brad Locke has some excellent thoughts on sports in "The Meaning of Sports" posted several days ago at One News Now. You can read it here.

Locke makes the point that sports do have value and meaning to us as Chirstians - they're not a waste of time and they don't have to be a distraction (see my previous blog post). He writes:

~ "Athleticism is a God-given gift."
~ "Athletic endeavors are not merely for our own amusement."
~ "There are unmistakable parallels between sports and everyday life."
~ "Sports can help us bond to our fellow man and provide an avenue for truth-sharing."

All very good thoughts.
