The Importance of Team (unity)
I'm amazed at the difference that team makes over pure skill. Our daughter has played fast pitch baseball for the last several years for MCHS. Prior to this year they had one of the more talented teams based on skill in the state. They won many of their games but lost a key one here and there to end their season not on top where they should of been. This year, while there are fewer skilled players and a lot more "just average" players, they have a team spirit that unifies and motivates beyond their abilities. They are doing great and are at the top of their division (which all the sports people did not predict) and continue to do amazing things. They have this rare thing called unity and it is a powerful force to be dealt with. They make more than their share of mistakes, but seem to pull through regardless. I'm curious what we choose to define us as a Church. Is it what we are good at (skills) or is it something far more mysterious? Do we obsess over our mistakes or move on in our unity to focus on the mission we are called? God has given us a gift. Paul encourages us to do everything we can to keep the unity given to us by God. Jesus prayed for our unity just before he walked the dark road to his cross. He prayed - Father may they be one as you and I are one so that the world may know me.
