We are the champions?

Something has gone seriously wrong at the Olympics, Great Britain is winning gold medals. We define ourselves as people who lose at things.
What would we be like if we were people who won things?
Apparently according to some programme I was listening to yesterday we are actually quite good at winning things. Researchers have discovered that if you look at all sporting events Britain is third in the world at winning things… nope it didn’t convince me either.
How we see ourselves is a really difficult thing, back to the confidence issue I guess. The stories we tell ourselves define who we are… which is fine if the stories are but what if they aren’t?
What if Great Britain is good at winning?
What if churches and faith communities are thriving and are still an important part of British life?
What if the future is positive?
Nope, still not convinced!
