Hello
As I sit and write these notes I can’t stop singing, “we are top of the league, we are top of the league”. Many will know of my involvement with Lincoln City, and how just a little under 10 years ago we were struggling in non league football. After the win against Exeter City the team are 4 points clear at the top of League 1, and a great chance to get promoted to the Championship, the first time in over 60 years.
In a sense the desire and hope many fans had in those dark days of non league football is on the verge of coming to fruition.
Easter is a time where we see signs of hope, hope that realises that hate and destruction can be overcome with following the challenging path of love. That is at the heart of the story of Easter. That put simply violence, hatred, discrimination cannot silence love. That is the experience of those early disciples. They had witnessed their friend publicly executed, and yet they recognised in love that if we struggle to follow that path we find renewed hope. That hope enables us to reconnect, with ourselves, with the whole of humanity and the environment around us. Disconnection from these leads to a sense of domination and destruction. So this Eastertide let us choose love and connection, over hatred and division.
As ever
Andrew
