"I was wondering if I could compete with these guys anymore.
I’m watching them and feeling like a shadow of the player I used to be.
And that was telling me it was time to turn the reins over to somebody else.
Over the years of my career, I’ve set a high standard for myself as a player.
My skills, to do the little things on the field, to make the adjustments needed to hit, to make the routine play on defence and run the bases aggressively, have deteriorated." Whitey Ashburn consoles his friend, Mike Schmidt, who just announced his retirement, May 29, 1989.
Good Friday isn't about defeat.
It's about a King who chose the cross.
The sinless One stood in the place of sinners.
The righteous for the unrighteous.
The Shepherd for the sheep.
"It is finished" wasn’t loss… it was victory.
Your debt is paid.
Your salvation is secured.
Your hope is alive.
Look to Christ.
