A Lesson in Passion & Purpose
Thursday, 03 November 2016Before you tune out, this post is not just about sports.
I had a different blog planned for today, but I felt strongly about this message.
If you haven't heard, the Chicago Cubs won the World Series on Wednesday night in an epic (literally epic) game seven. I could attempt to list all of the "hasn't happened since" moments, but just know it was a game for the books.
I'm not a born Cubs fan. I'm actually a Minnesota Twins fan, good or bad, through it all. But, when this team got to the Series after not having won the whole thing for 108 years (yes, you read that correctly), my heart was with them. I didn't feel like I was betraying my team at all. And, I wasn't jumping on the Cubs bandwagon.
Rather, I was thankful to be a part of history.
