Read 2 Samuel 23:20-21. To quote one of my favorite authors, "God is in the business of strategically positioning us in the right place at the right time."....Mark Batterson, In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day.
The Lion Chaser Manifesto
"Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Consider the lilies. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don’t let what’s wrong with you keep you from worshipping what’s right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze a new trail. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don’t try to be who you’re not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away. Chase the lion!""You must have pride in playing for this team, program and institution. No matter how talented you are, you must first be a good teammate with a spirit of sacrifice, discipline, trust and respect. Absent these qualities you can't play for this program. Zero bad apples. We won't burden the right people with the wrong ones for any reason." Dave Brandt Former Men's Coach at Messiah and current Head Coach at Naval Academy.
