Today’s Quote: “You will be as small as your controlling desire, as great as your dominant aspiration.” James Allen

Today’s Thanks: Sports. Most people wouldn’t believe it, but I have a strong competitive nature. It’s just that my meekness covers it up! But when I was younger, man – I was high strung when it came to competing. I think that’s why I allow my meek side to show so very often – because I HATE to lose and I don’t deal with it well, so therefore I would rather take it easy than risk losing. But that’s only been true in just the past few years. Also, for me – sports are a release from dealing with real life issues. I’m in my own little world when I’m involved in sports. I feel that I have control over what SHOULD have happened. It’s easy to play arm-chair quarterback, arm-chair coach, or arm-chair general manager. But mostly, sports are just fun! The best reality show ever invented. People have a need to go beyond themselves in order to compete, and when that involved world-class talent it truly is a beauty to watch!

Today’s Verse: “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8.
