Yesterday afternoon, the soccer team I coach (Hudson Middle School) lost their first game of the season, and we lost to CVCA (please don't rub it in). Losing is difficult. I am a very competitive person so I have always hated losing. Maybe it's because I have 3 older brothers and we were always competing for something every chance we got. I think Jesus doesn't like losing either. Sure, He loves us either way, but Jesus is such a passionate person, and when he walked the earth, He was a rebel. He was so tough, and most of all, He conquered death. Some people might have thought that because He was crucified here on earth that he lost in the end, but there is so much victory in Christ because he over came death...He conquered it for us! What if you went into every game you played knowing that you were going to win. That would give you a SURE HOPE! That is exactly the hope we have in Christ. We have a COMPLETE HOPE! Every day that we wake up, we must know that no matter what happens, if we know Christ, we are going to win in the end. That is comforting and motivating. Let that be the motivation that drives you! The Bible actually calls us MORE THAN CONQUERORS through Christ! Check out Romans 8:37-39 when you get a chance!

That is so true. I hate it when people say I'm a pansy and that all Christians are weak and scared. Christians have to be tough. It must have taken serious nerves to be flogged and nailed to a cross!
GOOD TRY TODD!!!!!
