Colombia? Football?
For those of us old enough to remember, it means one thing - the world's most memorable goalkeeper, Rene Higuita. Unique in so many ways, he was the main reason some of us wanted to watch Colombian games at previous World Cups - what might he do next?
This video doesn't show it but his style of play resulted in some awful moments too but risk = entertainment! As he has said himself, no goalkeeper today would be allowed the creative and risk space to do what he did.
Somewhere in the heart of the Christian faith is risk. In our church we are about to look more closely at one of Paul's missionary journeys and to read them is to feel the distance between the vibrant Christianity of the(often imprisoned and even executed) early believers and the 10:30 Sunday morning way the rich-world church does its faith today.
May God make us interesting!
