The Common Ground

Quicksand by definition is saturated sand that behaves like a liquid, making it appear solid but collapsing under weight. Quicksand has a similar definition in sports. Quicksand in sports is when one thing goes wrong on the field or court and then another and then another and you try to fight back and the harder you fight the deeper you sink. Pretty soon you can’t move because you’re in over your head. How many times in your life does it feel like the ground under you gives out? Maybe as the ground is giving you fight harder but it just seems to get overwhelming. Between the kids and a career or maybe you are fighting for your marriage or relationship, but at every turn something goes wrong or the ground seems to be sinking. This week we will explore how we were given a way out of the quicksand, a second chance. He gave us a way out of addiction, loneliness, and doubt. In our darkness we will doubt but he will always love.
