Blobs of faith

Last night in Zac's we considered levels of faith as illustrated by this Pip Wilson cartoon of players on a football pitch.
I quickly identified myself as a mixture of the one chasing butterflies (centre left), sometimes going the wrong way and easily distracted, and the goalkeeper, terrified someone is going to kick a ball at me.

After that I spent a lot of the study wondering why the man on the left had an ice cream on his head. (You see? Easily distracted.)

Turns out he's in the shower. 

I blame my stupidity on lack of familiarity with the inside of football changing-rooms.

A very good study though. I would think most of us experience different levels of faith at various times in our life, or even day.

At first glance we might think the goal-scorer is demonstrating the most faith but I find that when I do something well I tend to take the praise myself and forget God; the man on the stretcher though must have huge faith, obviously seriously injured but still on the pitch. 'I might be damaged but I can still do my bit - even if it's only getting in the way of the opposition.'

How's your faith today? Can you identify with any of the players/spectators?
