I just finished watching the movie, "The Greatest Game Ever Played". It is not the first time I have seen it, but I find it inspiring each time I watch it.
I have always been drawn to movies that feature an underdog beating the odds to come out on top. I watch several movies over and over for that reason; "Mighty Ducks", " Remember The Titans", "Facing The Giants" to name a few. Lots of times, these movies are based on actual events and that makes it better. Most times, the heroes in these movies not only reach down and find that one more effort to push them over the top, but inspire those they compete against to become their greatest cheerleaders. I know that real life doesn't always happen that way, but it does sometimes and should always.
We just completed our political primaries here and there were winners and losers. Some beat all odds others were considered shoo ins from the start. As I think about the presidential elections in the upcoming year, I will agree with Chuck Colson, no one excites me on either side of the isle. What I hope for is for a dark horse to emerge soon that could dry out the wet wood. So far no one is any good for the country.
So we can pray and hope that like the movies, an underdog will appear and beat the odds.
