Last night, I watched the movie 42. I’m a big baseball fan and had been looking forward to seeing this movie for quite a while. It is based on the true story of the first African American to play for Major League Baseball back in 1946-7.
I enjoyed the movie and the story behind it. I also enjoyed the reminder that sometimes it takes the stubborn vision of a few to bring about transformation for many. May we stubbornly and lovingly hold to the gracious truths we see in Scripture and live our lives as an example of the transformation that it can bring to ourselves and to others.

I have been feeling a pressure to perform lately: to do my best and to please God and others with my performance. We're called to do our best and to do it all to God's glory, but not to the point that anxiety, worry, or fear outweighs a sense of peace, love, and grace.
It's interesting that I would reflect on a works-based struggle on Labor Day. I'll leave you to reflect on these verses from Matthew 6 and ask yourself: What am I laboring on or worrying about?
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life... See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
