Big Win
Flew back from Seattle yesterday and landed just in time to catch part of our 5:05 @ Ebenezers. Then I coached Parker's game.
The Panthers got a big win last night--25 to 5! Is this the same team that didn't win a single game two seasons ago? Amazing to see the transformation on the court. I'm honestly less concerned about winning and losing. What is so cool is to see the kids morph into a team! We are a totally different team now than we were at the beginning of the season. Some of these kids got game!
I may have shared this before, but it is so important for pastors to have outside outlets. It is so easy for our lives to 100% revolve around the churches we pastor! Pastoring is consuming! So we need outlets. I honestly think that coaching my son's basketball team is the most important thing I'm doing right now. It keeps me balanced.

I know what you mean! I coach my son's soccer team, have for three seasons now - it's also a great way to build relationships outside the church!
I agree whole heartedly Mark. I'm coaching my son's basketball team for the third year also and they just won their league championship yesterday. The only thing we have to be aware of while coaching is doing something stupid because the entire fan base is either in our congregation or has the potential to be in our congregation! To get a T would be a problem!
First time on a Blog! Yeah, I am in a small group that has really seen growth. The group leader asked if Leaha and I would split off and lead another group. I told him I lead bible studies all week, I love to come and just be a part of something where I can participate and relax a bit. Also, an outlet can be that old college buddy who wants to talk about the times he tried getting into the dorm through your window after curfew!!
