Holy Ground


I know that this will sound a little funny, but Brent was able to make his trec to visit the holy ground of Lambeau Field this past August. I know that this stadium isn't actually "Holy", but it is an important symbol to Packer fans everywhere including Brent. Yes, that is a cheese poncho that he is wearing (to Tyler's embarassment!). It is funny what we will do for certain things that are important to us. I think that passion for something as simple as a sports team can carry someone throughout the week! It brings excitement to a dull life to watch an exciting football game.

I want to channel that passion into my everyday life as a Christian. It becomes weary, and I do not strive to go to the Holy Ground at times. I admire that in people that seem to have passion most every day. I grow weary of every day life and need to be energized in my life.

Zechariah 2:11-13
"Many nations will join themselves to the Lord on that day,
and they, too, will be my people.
I will live among you, and you will know that the
Lord of Heaven’s Armies sent me to you.
The land of Judah will be the Lord’s special
possession in the holy land, and he will once again choose
Jerusalem to be his own city.
Be silent before the Lord, all humanity,
for he is springing into action from his holy dwelling.”
