## Resource

We are told Americans don't like soccer. I'm not sure that's true. The first World Cup game had more viewers than any game in the NBA Finals. Either way, it's interesting how much God uses sports to describe how we should live our life on earth. Run your race, receive the prize, and whatever you do, don't beat the air.
