Every football team in America, has true Jesus followers. Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos is a great example. Drew Brees, quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, is another. There are many, many more.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">However, I wanted to share how the Seahawks set forth the best of America. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">First, it struck me how strongly the Seahawks correlated\u00a0as a team. It seemed as if every play had been choreographed. <em><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino; color: #800000;\">[Choreography is the art of designing sequences of movements in which motion, form, or both are\u00a0specified.]<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I realize that all teams do this. Yet, as I watched the Super Bowl yesterday, I was amazed at the coordination and speed of the Seahawks. I had also seen this before, when they defeated the Saints, twice. (To my dismay.)<\/p>\n<p>The truth be known, I&#8217;ve been neither a Seahawk&#8217;s fan or a Bronco&#8217;s fan. To me both teams are amazing. But as I watched the Super Bowl, it said something to me about the great country that we live in. Every time our national anthem is sung, or another of America&#8217;s glorious songs, it brings tears to my eyes.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">In fact all of our sports events extol the &#8216;God-given&#8217;\u00a0uniqueness of our country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">There has never been a nation on this planet like America. Our uniqueness reaches into the core of who we are as a people, into the fabric of our very being. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Yes, we&#8217;ve had our struggles and our failures, yet when the right moment comes, this nation has always been able to pull together in much the same way that the Seahawks played their game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Certainly it comes back to our basic spiritual values as a nation. Think about our pledge of allegience &#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"color: #003300; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">I pledge Allegiance to the flag<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"color: #003300; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\"> of the United States of America<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"color: #003300; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\"> and to the Republic for which it stands,<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"color: #003300; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\"> one nation under God, indivisible,<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<em><span style=\"color: #003300; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\"> with Liberty and Justice for all.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Our nation was founded on a principle of a unity that can only have one source.
