Who’s winning………

This morning on Mike & Mike in the Morning,  (a sports show on ESPN), the talk was about Lebron James.  Last night he scored over 30 points for his 6th straight game and hit over 60% of his shots, a record in the NBA. The all morning discussion was is he now the greatest basketball player of all time toping Michael Jordan?  All of the sports basketball legends called in to debate who was the greatest! It was entertaining, revealing, and completely irrelevant.

 

I love sports, I love sports because it’s just a game, nothing more, nothing less  We hype it into the be all, end all, but in the end, it’s just a game!  The world would love for us to assign extreme value to things that are not so valuable.  Life is a contest where a heavy person skates on thin ice. We usually find ourselves on thin ice, because we willingly  skated out on to it!  There is a solution though, skate somewhere else!

 

Choose what you value carefully.  Make the decision to invest in something that will accrue great value, Him!

 

Blessings,

    Hi, Bill! I love your line, “Choose what you value carefully.” I have spent much time figuring out what I value (much harder than I thought it would be), but never thought about making it a choice. It makes perfect and profound sense. Although I may believe I value non-materialism, my checkbook reveals where my heart truly lies (so to speak). Facing what I truly value allows me to choose and follow what’s truly and eternally important. Following Jesus is not always easy, but it is always worth it. Thank you so much for your post. – Lynn
