“Love the Lord you God with all your heart, with all you soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” – Mark 12:30 Being fit is one thing, being an athlete is another. Experts say that thirty minutes of exercise at a comfortable pace four times a week will make us fit. So two hours a week of running, walking, biking or swimming will allow an individual to maintain a basic level of fitness.
“God is strong, and He wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way.” – Ephesians 6:10 (The Message) As a young boy, I can remember watching Paul Anderson perform incredible feats of strength during an exhibition at my high school.
“Servants, do what you’re told by your earthly masters. And don’t just do the minimum that will get you by. Do your best.
“I’m not trying to get my way in the world’s way. I’m trying to get your way, your Word’s way. I’m staying on your trail; I’m putting one foot in front of the other.
“Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have.” – Philippians 4:11 You may think the grass is greener on the other side, but if you take the time to water your own grass, it would be just as green. It’s a natural part of the coaching profession to be in search of bigger and better opportunities. In order to move up the coaching ladder, we’re always in search of “greener grass.” Sometimes however, we get ahead of ourselves in the process.
