I’m writing this to clear up the possible myth that our fortnightly Saturday arvo sport is just for the jocks amongst us (hrmm…).  It’s actually for all of us. Of course not all of us are sporting types and that’s perfectly fine, but what Saturday arvo ‘sport’ lends itself to is us getting out and about in the local community (and specifically Perrin Park), showing our faces (and our pale skin), and hopefully meeting and hanging out with people we wouldn’t normally. 

Take last Saturday for example. After some odd throwing drills and some decent batting and bowling practice, 3 of us joined in on a ‘game’ of cricket being played by a father and primary-aged son from Fiji.  Growing up, I never ever came close to such a scenario, but thanks to 5:17 sport, there I was bowling full tosses and wides with the best of them!  :p  Pity about the dead rat lurking a metre away from the bowling crease.  :S  

It was lovely though to be part of the local community that gathers at Perrin Park on a Saturday afternoon, and who knows what God will bring of it through our collective investment and prayers.

(We might even get fit!)
