Beautiful
This is outstanding and beautiful. Is God ever wrong? Does he ever come up short? Is his love ever not enough? NO! NEVER! His words are rich and powerful and I thank you Jimbo for bringing them on this post.
Most situations, it really dosn't matter if you are right or wrong, but how you handle the matter. Most people, myself included, go with their natural inclination which is to strike back in anger, and eye-for-an eye. It takes an effort to turn the other cheek, to humble one's self. Jesus was God, the greatest among all, yet he was the most humble. He was the greatest servant and gave all he had so we may have life and have it to the fullest.
What an example we can be in this hobby of Christ's love, gentleness, patience and compassion. It does not come easy and it takes an effort, but its well worth the effort. We can have that kind of environment on this chat board, we can have that kind of enviroment in out Leagues and in our games. We can be the light of the world in a dark place.
We have an opportunity in this hobby to practice what we preach. This father's day weekend (and National Football day), let's all make an effort to reach out to someone, a brother or a friend, or even an enemy and say something kind, apologize for a wrong (even if you were not wrong) or just call someone you may not have spoken to for some time and say hello.
One person can make a difference.
