What we do in life echoes in eternity

I love sports, I really do.  There are so many great things that come from sports, it can develop work ethic, teamwork, morals, character and a positive attitude.  However, at no point should sports become more valuable or important than an individual.  Unfortunately this happens all the time.  People put more value on the success or failure of a team, on winning, and fail to focus on the people who play the sports.  We place sports, and the iconic figures of the sports on pedestals and let them be people who we scoff at otherwise.  The value of win is more important than the cost to people.  This article shows this mentality that has permeated the sports culture in this world.  And not just the sports culture but culture in general.

People are the most valuable component of God's creation, each of us is wonderful and uniquely made, a master piece knitted together by God in the womb.  Yet we treat people like pond scum.  We stink and we bite, and we treat people terribly.  Its sad.  If only we could see people as God see's people and treat them as he calls us to.   Love your neighbor as yourself.  Love people with all our heart, mind, soul and strength.  If there was just one person involved in this story at any point, how different could this girls life story be?
