Being the father of a 7 year old is such a blast. Connor, pictured above and below, is on a basketball team with his best friend Cole. As you might be able to tell from the pictures, he is more into basketball for the social aspects of the game.
But as Connor always seems to do, he amazes us with his insight. After this particular game he gave us the reason, in his mind, why his team lost. He said, "We lost the game because we didn't stick to the plan." Apparently the coaches gave instructions on offense that would have made a difference in the game, but his team mates didn't follow those instructions. (Apparently he thought he did :) )It was a perfect illustration for real life. When we follow the instructions of our coach (God), we will avoid losses.
I am thankful that Connor could take away not only a good basketball lesson, but a most important life lesson!
