Save the cheerleader...

Everybody needs a good cheerleader, even Jesus Himself, and boy was His cheerleader awesome. If Jesus was having a bad day John the Baptist could raise His spirits real quick. John the Baptist warms up the crowds for Jesus in today’s Gospel. Right here and right now we are witness to the beginning of a great political rally. The Savior of mankind is here. It is our charge to open our hearts and homes to Him. Over the next couple of weeks we will hear some great political speeches given by Jesus. And His cheerleader, John the Baptist, gives us comfort by reminding us that the Jesus forgives us and gives us hope for an amazing future. Everybody needs a cheerleader. If you are not someone’s cheerleader, find someone today and cheer him or her on.

Just a thought...

Have you ever gotten an invitation to a gathering, party, group that made you feel important? You smiled as soon as you received the invitation? This week you are being given the ultimate invitation. This is an invitation that if you accept it you will have to ‘step up’. It’s kinda scary but exciting at the same time. In the first reading you are invited to be a hero. God has given you all you need to know to be a hero, to help people, to save them from harm. You are all that is needed. Just you. Do you accept?
