Hmm...

I am a coach, I am a coach of some less than talented players, I am the coach of some less than talented players at a school that drains you dry. Despite that, we won last night against a greater foe from across the tracks, up the hill, through the gates and on the left. I am proud of our kids and other coaches. Victories are rare around here, so we tend to cherish them. I ramble through all of that to make a personal observation about myself. I am definitely a less than talented player in God's athletic program. At times, I feel like I have been kicked around whichever sporting venue is in season. What is sad is that I have been pretty much satisfied bitching about the other sucky players and ignoring my own suckitude. (I like new words and sports analogies) Just an observation as we were beating a team that usually kicks our butts.

I have begun to read the bible. No, not anything too deep, just Proverbs. I can remember my dad reading them to me when I was a kid. I remember thinking how repetitive it was and thought the book could have been 2 chapters long. I am only 2 chapters in and it is repetitive, but I am looking to take some things to heart and dare to apply them. After two days, I have read and prayed and things are going OK. I hope to start a new habit. My wife (devastatingly beautiful), has even read my blog and likes it. I will try to leave out names to protect the innocent. I won't be able to exercise today due to a game and getting in late but Wednesday through Sunday will be my exercise days. I am looking forward to getting back at it.
