[Sometimes we
must repeat ourselves - even if our words are not appreciated. It is vital that
the Truth be shared, as many times as is necessary. This day is one of those
days – a day when I feel compelled to republish (with some slight editing),
observations I made nearly a year ago:]

Today, in a small upstate New
York Village, thousands of
adoring and appreciative boxing fans will come out to cheer and pay tribute to several
boxing legends and the current Miss America who will process and parade
through the Village’s streets. The numbers of spectators at this parade will far
exceed the total number of individuals who will attend all of the Village’s
Church services this Sunday morning.
Months of preparation and hard work went into
this annual event. Many will come several hours before the parade begins in order to
stake claim to prime viewing positions. This weekend event attracts national
television and media coverage, as well as visitors from all parts of this
nation and even from some foreign countries – assembled to publicly honor and
pay homage to men and women who made a living by physically pummeling each other.
They certainly have the right to do so.
