learning from mistakes

Recently, I went to watch an ice hockey game.
Thrilling fun it was too.
Why you might ask?
 just to do something a bit out of the norm, a bit different, and to enjoy the sport.

As I sat there, watching a team play, it was like my life, being played out, sometimes you're in the game, hard out, and you need your players to back you, or mark out depending on the sporting term.
 and we don't do it alone, because we have the team members.

Sometimes we do have to move ourselves and believe in ourselves, that we can acutally do somethings.

And that means using our voice, and speaking up. not in a hash way, but with love and respect.

What do we think about grace? or do we just ignore the fact that we need it, and that we should be nice to people, who need help?

do we need to take a step back, realize that things aren't working, and stop getting so up tight about what's going on?

What is going on in your life?

Have you get somethings that you've held on for way to long? are you always putting up, and putting in the hard yards while others are lazy?

have you meant well, but it's just come out in a huge big mess?

In a world that is so self relient on how our image is? or how we portray ourselves, we label ourselves in ways that we make ourselves?
 we market what we want to do, and how we are going to use it.

how is that helping our team players? or the people around us that think we are Christians but when they hear about what we say they guess our goodness?

We can't be clean, on the inside and dirty on the outside, you have to make a concience effort, not to be like that.

because that is how the world sees you, and we are in the world but not of it.

Referring to the game of ice hockey, it's a pretty tactical sport, so we need to be tactual on how we live, we need to be intentionally  telling the truth, and be aware of the presence of God in our lives.

Whatever your doing, be intentional about it,  make friends intentional, talk intentionally always seasoned with salt, that is a challange for me.

use your time wisely. study well, and get the most out of God's life that he has for you.

And don't give even one whisker of doubt that you can't be on anyones team because you can.
