Hawkins Pep Rally

I went to the Hawkins Middle School Pep Rally this afternoon. You won't believe how loud 6th, 7th, and 8th graders can become. They had some guys dressed up as girls take on the 6th grade cheerleaders in a tumbling contest... funny stuff! They lost of course. The girls basketball team beat out everyone else to win the spirit stick... amazing!

Anyway... it's amazing how everyone comes together for a common task... to cheer for an upcoming game. There are no labels... no clicks... no exclusive groups... they are ONE school cheering for ONE team. Why can't life be like a pep rally? Why can't we cheer for everyone to succeed... to win... to triumph in life? Why can't people come together at work... at church... in society... politics and go after a common goal? I know there are many answers to those questions why there is such a separation, but are they really valid? Something to think about.

"Two bits, four bits, six bits... a dollar...."
