Everybody up

“Alright, ya’ll. This is a roll call. Let me see you, Big City, Live City, Rip City, Mexico City, China. London.

“Where you at, dude with all the hats? Dude with the hair cut. Dude with the beard (James Harden). All you baby sizes. Shag sizes. No, really —Shaq sizes (as we see a shot of Shaquille O’Neal dancing with Jabbawockeez during his introduction at the 2009 All-Star Game).”

NBA fans then get their turn. “Let me see you fantasy owners, tweeters, blog readers. Gamers. Game-timers. Let me see you floor seats (we get a shot of Griffen diving into the crowd), family seats, your momma’s seats (as Durant kisses him mom), best seats in the house.

“Let’s see you legends (Larry Bird and Magic Johnosn), coaches, trainers. You too, rookie (Derek Fisher). Both of you (Steve Kerr). Pick No. 1 (Andrew Wiggins). Pick No. 2 (Jabari Parker). Pick No. 28 (Tony Parker, who was drafted by the Spurs in 2001). Pick of the Year.”

Then we see James being introduced with his new Cavaliers teammates. “Ha, that’s gonna be fun. Let’s see you dancers, ring leaders, real leaders (a shot of military personnel). Guy coming off the bench. Guy leaving the bench behind. Passers. Dunkers. Blockers Buzzer-beaters. Contenders. Championship defenders. It’s tip-off time, ya’ll. Everybody up!”

"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death - even death on a cross!

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

(Philippians 2:5-11)

A timely message for times right now. Thankful that real hope lies not in a preferred outcome, but in the person that is Jesus. Merry Christmas everyone
