AND ALSO

July 28, 2003

In a world where we’re called to choose sides, in a culture that is decidedly more polarized, and in a society wherein everyone wants to know where you “stand” so they can label you as pro or con, it is refreshing see a change.

So much of the world is in to the Either-Or paradigm. Books have been written on this philosophy of life usually under the lead-line of Win-Lose. But there is a Win-Win approach to life or an And-Also mindset.

We saw this in operation this weekend with the “miner” miracle. Or was it a “minor” miracle? Was it an “e” or an “o”? Both! :-)

What we also saw this weekend was teamwork. We saw the military battle cry of “not one man left behind” being lived out 240 feet under the earth. Nine men who tied themselves together and vowed that they would live as one or they die as one. Men with amazing courage udnerground and men with amazing determination to save them working feverishly above ground.

It’s an interesting fact that
we pay these kinds of men such little compensation while on the other hand we pay tens of millions to pro athletes who have not a clue about moral courage, know nothing about humility, nor understand the concept of teamwork. For me, it was more of a MAJOR miner MIRACLE!
