Liverpool, football and faith
Wednesday, February 10, 2021
Josh Sexton struggles with typical religious questions:
Like, if there is a god that is as great and powerful as the one you know and love, how does a global pandemic happen? How are the awful things happening every single day on this earth allowed to happen, for that matter?
But he can:
Relate to the idea that no matter how bad things get you know there are brighter days to come. Or that you’ll have bad days where things are weighing on you but you have something/someone to share that with.
Because:
I have witnessed divine intervention. I am a part of something that is bigger than me. I am a part of *something*. I go to a place of worship, with the same smiling faces, to make the same idle small talk with other believers. Something which is our combined thing. The faith.
That thing, that something, that faith, is Liverpool Football Club.
So, as he tells the readers of The Anfield Wrap:
We should remember that brighter days are coming. I can’t tell you when, I just know they are.
