Makes me think about my passions, or what I would die for...not sure that I know that, but reading this makes me want to figure it out.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184892406047454044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602011686073559287.post-23211485210371301582010-03-10T21:48:02.903-05:002010-03-10T21:48:02.903-05:00Great post.

Don't we all? But please don't go keeping the nickname Pops. I'm only a year younger than you and have no desire to be called grams. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602011686073559287.post-62327185579936930452010-03-10T11:52:40.601-05:002010-03-10T11:52:40.601-05:00I tell you what, Jesus has been teaching me alot a...I tell you what, Jesus has been teaching me alot about humility. I still hate to lose but He is teaching me to at least be humble about it.Scott Garrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711342901162853466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602011686073559287.post-66566018953978413662010-03-10T08:50:22.854-05:002010-03-10T08:50:22.854-05:00Another great story!

I don't really see my dad that way, (or my mom) but Derrick and I (and clearly, you) hate to lose. Zion has the gene as well. Recently he competed in a county wide church sports event called AWANA games. Except for Zion, most of the kids were picking their noses and waving at their parents in the stands. There are 10 events, and his team came in last on almost every event. They were not ready for the event. Afterwards, Zion was really upset. I tried to pretend like I didn't know what was bugging him as I said, "What's wrong buddy?"<br />"We came in LAST!" he said, clearly ticked.<br />I tried the, "you did your best" speech<br />and he looks at me with eyes that could kill and said, "That's STUPID!"<br />I almost laughed, but was shocked as well, and then thought about it on the way home. It really doesn't make me feel better to think that I did my very best, and my best was inferior. In fact, I would rather someone say, "You know what, you had a bad day, and next time - you'll kick it"<br /><br />Had I taught him poor sportmanship?<br /><br />Had I thrown my glove in the back of the van after a crushing church softball game?<br /><br />Maybe I need to work on being more humble.<br /><br />er.......more like Jesus.Meldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17677019908355476604noreply@blogger.com
