On Wednesday I was reading the USA Today and the lead article on the front page focused on the Colorado Rockies of Major League Baseball. The Rockies have stuggled for the past few years, but it seems that they have a renewed swagger...a positive attitude, a renewed character....based on an adopted Christian code of conduct. They are attempting to develop a culture that is based on fellowship and prayer. The article goes on to say that not everyone around the league is impressed or supportive. Trying something new is always difficult, and when it is faith-based it's even harder. The idea of re-building the team by focusing on Christianity and character development is something that should be supported as long as the code of conduct doesn't force those players of other faiths to take part in Christian fellowship. It's good to see that there are owners and managers in Colorado that are willing to think creatively, to think outside of the normal ways of doing business. Will they be successful...let's watch and find out.
In the meantime, I will pray that my team, the Milwaukee Brewers, continue to find ways to win.
