 ALL ABOUT THE INCHES?
Al Pacino's stirring 'inches' speech from the movie Any Given Sunday [watch here] speaks to us all. Sport, and life, is often more about the 'inches' and 'one-percenters' than the other stuff we crave. The person who is prepared to sacrifice for others: do the yards, inch by inch, will discover a richer reward. Christ sacrificed, put his body (and reputation) on the line, for all of us. Read the story Luke 15:4 here.

CHAMPIONS FAITH:
Not Lacrosse Any More!
Subscriber Garry Dobbie wrote: My daughter is a born again Christian. Two years ago she gave her life to the Lord, and today she is one of the top players on the Canadian National U-19 Field Lacrosse Team. A year ago she was plagued with a bad knee. At our church we prayed for a recovery, but when Dana asked God to forgive her for a relationship problem with another girl on her team (they didn't get along for who knows what reason) the injury disappeared. She is fit and ready to play in the World Championships in June 2003. GNS Says... Awesome! |
