Tuesday – time for some rambles.
A Sports Hero
- Derek Jeter has been my favorite athlete since Don Mattingly retired in 1995. This week will likely be his last, barring a miraculous finish.
- Jeter as an athlete has displayed many qualities worthy of respect.
- He’s known to be hard working, consistent, self-driven, accountable, and a great teammate.
- Forget baseball, wouldn’t we all be happy if most leaders in our society were known for the same types of things?
- It’s been a joy to watch a player of his caliber for so many years. It’s a meaningful thing for his sport to lose him to retirement. Not too many players fit that description.
Believing Creation Matters
- This probably won’t be original, but it’s on my mind.
- If I don’t believe God created the world in six days, it makes it more difficult for me to speak with authority about believing the rest of the Bible.
- The main reason for that in my mind is NOT about the interpretation .
- Instead, the root issue for me is this: God spoke creation into being referencing six literal days. It’s about His Word, not fussing about how to interpret His Word.
