Dr. James Wigton's Blog

Last week I had the privilege of giving the invocation at a meeting of the Orlando City Commission. I took the opportunity to thank God for the Orlando Magic, our very successful NBA basketball team. I would never pray for victory. While I appreciate it when athletes thank God after a win, the truth is there are probably good, praying people pulling for both teams. But I did thank God publicly last week for the unity the Magic build in our community. They give us inspiration, and they bring us together. It is amazing how young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, no matter what race or ethnicity, etc. — we all sense a kinship in pulling together for our Magic. And that is something for which to be thankful — win or lose!
