Inspired
Posted: Friday, October 16, 2009 by Travis Cody inWell, my Dodgers dropped the first game of the NLCS last night. The Phillies power bats got the best of my Dodgers' power pitching.
Dangit.
I'm disappointed, but I got something inspiring from Mimi last night.
I'm reminded that the NLCS is a best of 7 and my Dodgers have a chance to even the series today. My Dodgers never gave up last night. Each time the Phillies surged ahead, my guys went back to work and tried to come back. They persevered. Even though they didn't make it all the way back, they kept on trying. And I watched until the end, because sometimes you just have to stand by your guys, even if they don't know you're there.
Working for peace takes that kind of determination and effort. We can't be deterred by set backs. And we can't give up just because it's difficult or because there seem to be too many obstacles in front of us. We just have to keep working, because as Dr King said, "Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal".
The Peace Globe you see above was made by Michelle, born in Africa and now residing in Scotland. She writes the blog Crows Feet. She'll be joining me and Mimi, and hundreds of other bloggers from all over the world, to post our Peace Globes and thoughts about peace.
Check the top of my side bar to your right for all the information you need to participate in this year's Blog Blast for Peace. Please consider joining us. If you need help with your Globe, let me know in comments.
And since we're counting down the days to 5 November 2009 with peace quotes, let's hear from our dear leader Mimi Lenox...
"Bloggers from all across the globe will blog for peace. We will speak with one voice. One subject. One day. Dona Nobis Pacem."
I believe that words have power, so this matters.
Help us spread the word about Blog Blast for Peace coming up on 5 November 2009, and I'll get a fellow Worker Bee to send you a copy of this badge to fly in your sidebar.
You know you want to join us. Come on. Do it.
Sorry about your Dodgers last night. I saw a brief part of the game and looked like they were playing quite well. At least they have some more games, and will probably do just fine.
I'm so nervous about this Sunday. Saints vs Giants. I'm prayin...alot...
Blessings
