My oldest grandson made the varsity football team at his school this year. His jersey number is 48. His younger brother, who does everything at full tilt, is one of his (and the team’s) biggest fans. The following photographs remind me of an old Christian hymn, and when I say old I mean that in 2012 it will have been around for 200 years.
I do hope I’m not being blasphemous:
The Son of God goes forth to war,
A kingly crown to gain;
His blood-red banner streams afar,...
Who follows in His train?
Same song, second verse:
I don’t know about you, but I think it’s kind of cute.
But I do hope I’m not being blasphemous.
