- Our Pre-Juvenille Basketball players
We’ve watched a few of those basketball movies where the coach takes the kids to a winning pennant in 90 minutes. Harold is learning the differences in coaching his daughters instead of his sons. Sometimes girls cry for no reason. They can charge down the court like mad with the ball and then give it up without a basket. But despite the fact that he sometimes doesn’t understand the emotions and that his free time is more than committed I think he’s enjoyed this new season of coaching.
There’s lots of dinner conversation about refs and fouls and “what would make it better” and “do you really want to work that hard?” Today is Family Game Day -a fundraiser for the basketball tournament and a fun day here at school. The athletic director made special shirts for each of his athletes and on the back is stitched “Soli Deo Gloria” (to God alone be the glory) and it’s a good reminder in our culture of superstar athletes. No matter what I do, “work becomes worship when you dedicate if to God and perform it with an awareness of His presence,” (from Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Life).
