Greendale Human Being

This is the Greendale Human Being. It is the official mascot for all Greendale's sports teams.

This blog is centered around how society has made sports into the thing that the "popular" people do. If a guy isn't athletic he isn't a "real man" and if a girl isn't athletic she is seen quite differently. I was reading a post about this (http://menscenter.org/counseling-therapy/sports-culture-masculinity/) and it talked about how sports have changed teens views on what it means to be accepted and strong.

As an unathletic person myself, I can say that there was a time when I was quite ashamed to be a part of the all the choirs and the school musicals because it thought it made me less cool to the jocks and I simply didn't want to be associated with it.

I think that this is am increasingly common thought process among young teens. This is really unfortunate because it is completely untrue.

God has given each individual a particular set of skills (Just like Liam Neeson!!!) and he has created us individually to be the person he wants us to be.

We can't be held back with societies ideas of what is cool or even productive to do. We need to see ourselves as a wonderfully made human being with gifts and talents that can be used to bring glory to God.

Lets all be Liam Neeson's in our own rights!!

God Bless,
