This year I'm coaching young girls in Upward Basketball. First time with 7 little princesses, but it has been a joy even though I was a little nervous at first. The main obstacle, at least for me, is getting them to hustle to the ball and not just WATCH the ball. Most are perfectly content to observe the action, but this is not necessarily a good thing in playing basketball.
A spiritual connection is that we often watch from the sidelines rather than becoming an active participant. For some, attendance once a week is all they want, but God demands greater: participation. We should be committed to a life of: prayer, worship, sharing faith, discipleship, and stewardship. These are mandated in Scripture, and hence are not optional.
I was cruising some Christian news sites and came across this info about Salvation Army. Check out this site about Joe the Turk. It's a great read and very interesting character. Hope you enjoy!
