Finding the spirit to put it all on the line is easy for some and hard for others.
Why is it we think it’s cool when an athlete thumps his chest in a gesture of saying ‘hey I did that, I did that’ just after they scored a basket or made a tackle. We think it’s great when they celebrate with all kinds of “special” gestures for doing their jobs on the sports field.
Then we make fun of athletes, or anyone for that matter, who kneels and prays or points to the heavens. We say how ridiculous people are for thanking God or Jesus Christ.
