I don’t know if God loves the Green Bay Packers

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. Lift up your eyes and look around. Then you shall see and be radiant; your heart shall thrill and rejoice, because the abundance of the sea shall be brought to you.” - Isaiah 60:1, 3-5

“I don’t know if God loves the Green Bay Packers, but it felt like he dressed in green and gold that day. … richness of the soil and you could hear the whispered name of every little thing. It’s never what you think that ends up mattering the most. ‘Cause even for a platinum record or a big corner office, I’d now never miss the chance to see the tundra thaw, the sap run, and spring come alive on this little chunk of dirt. I hope one day my children get to run through these wild fields. I’m convinced the world is maintained by the quiet work of unnoticed faithful people. But the right thing mostly never makes a lot of money or wins the trophy. In real life, miracles don’t always arrive on time. The good guy doesn’t always win. And you don’t always get to keep your farm. And that’s okay. But my grandpa, though he knows nothing about music, taught me harmony, balance, and cost from owls, cows, and mice in the rafters and even the Packers and the Bears, how it all works together.” - “Green and Gold”
