I too, grew up playing basball...Sports are great. <br /><br />I too, grew up playing basball(one year of college baseball - too many distractions (women)) and football. Sports dominated my life for those years.<br /><br />We are ALL idolators in some way. We ALL put things before the Living God. This is who we are (not that it is good - it is NOT). The Lord knows this about us and loves and forgives us, anyway.<br /><br />If I were a coach today (I did coach kids for many years), I would hammer home how important it is to not miss regulat worship services. Once in a blue moon...ok...but not to make a habit of it.<br /><br />As far as praying or bible study goes...there's no excuse for doing those things. They can be done before bedtime each night...or when one gets up. That said, I don't do a great job of those things either...because I am a lazy sinner.Steve Martinhttp://theoldadam.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
