RED ROVER 2.0

How many remember playing RED ROVER while growing up?  (If not, click this RED ROVER link to find out how)

In short, there are 2 teams of people standing about 10 yards apart from each other.  Each team forms a line, hand in hand.  One team would call out, "RED ROVER, RED ROVER, SEND ________ (name of a person on other team) RIGHT OVER."  It was then the person who was called out to try to run and break through the "chain" being formed by the other team.

Simple games that people played.

I was reminded of this game in an illustration earlier this week.  But in this "game" the one breaking through was the enemy of racism...the enemy of bigotry.....the enemy of good.

Each time there is a "breaking" of the chain of good, the weaker the "team" becomes.

What if, in this new game...RED ROVER 2.0...we didn't just grab hands, but we LOCKED ARMS?  

What if we go so close to each other that the enemy trying to "break through" our wall wasn't able to, because of the strength of the wall?

We are truly BETTER TOGETHER.  RED - YELLOW - BLACK - BROWN - WHITE....standing side by side...arms linked together.....STRONGER TOGETHER.

In the Bible, in Acts 4:32, the Bible says, "All the believers were united in heart and mind...."  

It starts with me.  

RED ROVER 2.0.....who wants to "PLAY?"
