Christian singer Matthew West shared a powerful story about taking his daughter to camp. During an exercise, the daughters were blindfolded and the dads were told to guide them through the woods after repeating three instructions: I will never leave you. You can ask me anything. And only listen for my voice.
At first, he could guide her easily. Then the counselors signaled for him to remove his hand. He was no longer allowed to speak unless his daughter remembered she could ask him anything. Eventually, they got off track on their hike and a counselor quietly led her into a ditch without her realizing it.
After standing there blindfolded and confused, she finally asked, “Dad, are you there?”
Matthew said he teared up as he answered, “Yeah. I’m here.”
This moment reminded him how often we forget the same truths about God: that He never leaves us, we can ask Him anything, and we need to listen for His voice.
@LanceMcAlister Agree with you @LanceMcAlister but trying to see their side....Schwarber guaranteed butts in seats...without good scouts/ talent evaluators, a few "good" players that help us win is far from guaranteed....and they know this
@JamesRapien The Ball's Role: The ball is considered an extension of the player's control but not a part of their body for the purpose of being "down".
