Great Opportunity

I just returned to the office after a brief opportunity worth blogging about.

This afternoon I was privileged to lead the Mukwonago High School Indians football chapel! Being that tonight is Homecoming, I’m even more-honored to have been asked to briefly deliver devotions at a chapel before such a high-profile game, too!

I talked briefly on the very-familiar passage in Isaiah 40 about those who put their hope in the Lord soaring on wings like eagles. I learned some things about eagles this week thanks to Jill Briscoe – and I, in turn, shared those with the guys!

#1 – Eagles “molt”. They remove the old feathers to allow the new feathers to grow in.
Our Indians are 1-5 going into tonight, so the obvious correlation makes sense.

#2 – Eagles “ride thermals”. They use something that is “against them” to take them higher.
The nods I received while talking today makes me think the guys “get it”.

Thanks to two of my students who co-captain the team and the coaches for allowing me the opportunity that I so enjoyed this afternoon!
