The Greatest
March 12, 2012
What is the greatest thing in sports? Is it championships? Records? Honors? In the Palestra, the University of Pennsylvania basketball arena, a plaque offers a different perspective on the greatest thing in sports. It reads: To win the game is great. To play the game is greater. But to love the game is the greatest of all. This is a refreshing reminder that sports are, after all, just the games we played with joy as kids.
A religious leader once asked Jesus about greatness: Which is the great commandment? (Matt. 22:36). Jesus responded by challenging that leader to lovelove God and love others. Jesus said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself (Matt. 22:37-39).
Whatever else our faith in Christ compels us to do, there is nothing greater we can do than to show our lovefor love reveals the heart of our holy heavenly Father. After all, God is love (1 John 4:8). Its easy to be sidetracked by lesser things, but our focus must remain on the greatest thingloving our God. That in turn enables us to love one another. Theres nothing greater.
When amazed by His love for me, To love Him back became my prayer. I sought an answer sincerely It was: Love the neighbor whos there. Verway
The proof of our love for God is our obedience to the commands of God.
Read: Matthew 22:34-40

Greetings, everybody, from a quiet Sunday evening in the Sunshine State!
We had a few brief rainshowers here, which made the temps nice and comfortable this afternoon. It was a neat thing, to stand outside and listen to the rain on the carport roof, and take in the knowledge that the place is MINE.
I walked over to Demented Sis’s house to walk the puppy, and she had arranged to have the crock pot going with a huge pot roast. After walking the dog, I went home with a batch of roast and taters, and sat watching “Lord of the Rings” with a nice supper and a rum & coke.
Tomorrow, I’m taking Sissy with me to the VFW Post and enjoy the convivial atmosphere of the Canteen. We always have a good time when we go, and looking forward to more of same.
Have a great evening, all!

Thanks for this post. While I enjoyed his interviews that were interspersed with Band of Brothers and the mini-series itself, I had no idea of how much this hero gave us all. The Greatest Generation has so much to teach those of us who benefit from their selflessness.
