Summer is winding down and fall is just around the corner. Most of all it's FOOTBALL SEASON! One of my favorite places to hang out when I'm at home is not here on Oak Street but one block over in Shelby Park. Much of my time spent in Shelby Park consists of just hanging out and occasionally playing with my friends Egypt, London, and Rio (all of whom are under the age of 7). I know this can seem strange or pointless when we think of going to the park to do ministry but I have to remind myself that, even here in America, cultures are different. There are a lot of things I have yet to learn about inner city culture. Especially having grown up in a more rural area in Northeast Georgia. The big question is "How does this all tie in to FOOTBALL SEASON???" Well, Shelby Park may not be an ideal place for recreational leagues to practice but hey, they're here. I may know nothing about the kids on the team, their names, or their parents but I can and I will support them. This is my community. This is my home. Those are my neighbors. With that being said...GO BEARS!
