This afternoon I was on the computer in the PE office at school browsing my daily stops for reading other blogs. My good friend Christian put out a good piece on coaching and the ridiculousness of yelling at the officials. I can totally relate to everything he says because I, too often, am the coach who is constantly harping at the officials. The next opportunity I have to coach I am going to put into practice his ideas. (I wonder how Jesus would coach a sports team?)
Also, if you haven't had an opportunity to check out my brothers' (Matthew) blog, I suggest that you check it out (whatmattdeemsimportant). The piece that he wrote today was phenomenal. I really appreciate his point of view and perspective on things. I think I appreciate it so much because it challenges me to know end. Talk about a young man who has an incredible heart for Jesus. I think a lot of people don't understand him because he is very different than me (not that people really even understand me, because I know I don't have anything figured out), but I have been challenged over and over again by conversations that I have had with him. He is living life on the front lines as a believer in Jesus at a school that is very very anti-Christian. He has shared his views openly in such a creative and profound way that I am completely amazed and challenged.
