Most of us want to be fully known and still fully wanted and loved. But we settle for being admired but not known, because it feels safer. The gospel offers the harder and better thing, which is to be seen entirely and loved through our strengths as well as our weaknesses.
THE GREATEST LL MOUND VISIT OF ALL TIME!!
“If you walk the next 5 batters Jesus is still lord,if you strikeout the next 5 batters Jesus is still lord”

"You can have both.
You can compete at the highest levels...and be committed to winning for the sake of the group with total commitment AND you can love each other well, commit to growth first, and live in a place of gratitude and service.
You can do both at the same time."
My preaching advice (to myself) and those preparing for Easter:
1. Trust the story. Let it do the work.
2. Trim your sermon. Less is more.
3. Try to relax. Life will go on no matter how you do.
4. Remember that Christ is risen. That’s what truly matters.

“I’m proud of these guys, because when they get older, they will find out that it’s really the main thing”
"I'd say this to any coach...If your job is your identity, you're really going to struggle."
This was part of Rick Barnes’ response to being asked what advice he’d give Lady Vols’ head coach, Kim Caldwell, following the birth of her son last year.
He emphasized the importance of finding a balance between coaching and parenting and offered this reminder for all coaches:
"This is what we do, it can't be who you are."

The people who dominate the conversation often have the least to say.
Being the loudest voice in the room doesn’t gain respect. It crowds out the contributions of those who speak at a lower volume.
It’s better to leave people wanting to hear more than wishing they’d heard less.
Most of the people we try to impress are busy trying to impress someone else.
The spotlight effect is the habit of overestimating how much others focus on us. We don't see how preoccupied they are with themselves.
True confidence stems from self-respect, not social approval.
Dear managers: If you’re not going to consider feedback, it’s better not to seek it at all.
Data: When people in power request input but then disregard it, they’re judged more negatively than if they hadn’t asked.
Bad leaders ignore. Good leaders listen. Great leaders act.
An apology is not an admission that you're a bad person. It's a step toward becoming a better person—and an expression of care for the other person.
The most important part is not saying sorry. It's taking responsibility for what you did wrong and taking action to make it right.

It’s more important to be kind than polite.
Politeness favors courtesy. We offer compliments and avoid critiques. The goal is to make others feel good today.
Kindness prizes care. We’re not afraid to dish out tough love. The goal is to help others do better tomorrow.
