READY:
“Beside him Meremoth son of Uriah, son of Hakkoz, made repairs to another section, from the door of Eliashib’s house to the end of his house.”
-Nehemiah 3:21
SET:
Each year in the spring you see a collection of fathers rising early in the morning and working non-stop until dark to complete a task. No not on an all-day round of golf but on the construction of little league diamonds all over cities and small towns. You see the dads working hard on the fields their children will be playing on. Why? Because they have a vested interest in those fields. They want the very best for their children as they play.

READY:
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.”
-Luke 6:37
SET:
I am back into coaching again. I’m coaching a finely tuned machine–amazing athletes with the ability to lose focus in three seconds or less. Yes, I’m coaching little league (9-10 year-olds). We have been practicing for several weeks, and it has already started. These little players are starting to say bad things to teammates, are picking on each other, and are hurting each others’ feelings before the season even starts. Where does this all come from? Why does it start so early? I only had to look in the mirror for an answer.
