Jesus didn't promise us a life without challenges, but He did promise us a life with Him. When we take up our cross daily, we're choosing to walk with Him through whatever comes our way.
When you take up your cross daily, you're choosing to live a life of love, compassion, and service.
Great players look like they love playing/competing. They play with energy/motor naturally. They are easy to notice! They jump off the field! They look different! They act different! They act like playing is what they WANT to do! They don't look lethargic/tired/distracted.

Players...your coaches are allowed to show you up for lack of effort!
Giving 100% of what you have in the tank is the EXPECTATION! You OWE it to your coaches and your teammates!

I was never ranked out of high school…
