As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him. For he knows our frame, he remembers that we are dust (Psalms 103:13-14).
John Wooden's passing reminds us that though life on this earth is temporary, our lives can speak long after we are gone. His coaching philosophy has stood the test of time. As I have said before, I admire the coaches of athletes because their coaching philosophy is tested in the arena of competition before a "great cloud of witnesses" each time his team takes the floor. Ministers of the gospel should also take note because after we have served at a church for a number of years, how the church "plays" is the result of our "coaching."
A man may make mistakes, but he is not a failure until he starts blaming someone else.
It is what you learn after you know it all that counts.
Dare to be a Daniel!
Dare to stand alone!
Dare to have a purpose firm!
Dare to make it known! --Philip Bliss
Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.
I will get ready and then, perhaps my chance will come.
Talent is God-given, be humble;
Fame is man-given, be thankful;
Conceit is self-given, be careful.
Our Father's Blessings,
Tom
