Jess and I decided last week that Hudson is going to grow up playing the game of soccer (or futbol), so we went to Academy and bought him a soccer ball. It's not one of our favorite sports (not even close!), though I played soccer for 8 or 9 years when I was a child. The World Cup has opened up a new world for us. We see the nations playing and celebrating this game. We want Hudson to know how to play soccer when we take the gospel to the nations (who happen to REALLY know how to play soccer). Steve Adler (shout-out!) said it best- "It's the language of the nations."
Soccer will be the common ground between Hudson and children around the world- so that the common language will go from soccer to Jesus.
