Parallel projections about our future

Every Sunday morning, I look at the soccer complex that joins the church property. Unless it is terribly bad weather, kids are playing soccer, while crowds join along the sidelines with their cheers. As we often do after church services, we drive past the World Soccer Headquarters just a mile from our house. At least twenty soccer fields are filled with players. What do I see unusual in this? Well, I remember when it was unthinkable for youth sporting events to be played on Sundays. Schools never scheduled any activity on Wednesday evening which was called, “prayer meeting night.”
