I can follow a professional football, I can follow someones music career I can even follow a chef or an artist… but following does not put me in the same category as these individuals. I will even be a little more vague… maybe not a demon or snake handling, but definitely the power of the Holy Spirit shows up… but he shows up while you are at work in your role as a follower of Christ.įollow is such a bad word really. It says these are the signs that follow them that believe… those that accepted their work and their job description have these signs follow them.

If I am drafted by them but never play a down… It got me thinking… what really makes you a professional athlete. Until days later I was talking to one of the football players I knew and he said “he was drafted by the reds… yes - but he only plays on their farm team. Wow, I said who do you play for, he said I was drafted by the reds… I was impressed.
I was 24 at the time… I asked him about his work out and in explaining to me why he did what he did he said “well Im a professional baseball player”.
I was talking to a young kid who was probably only about 2 years younger than me. I remember years ago working out in the weight room at Northwest university.
