Sand

Yesterday afternoon while I was enjoying the beauty and relaxation Jordan Lake has to offer I got to thinking about God's glory seen in creation. I particularly began to think about this by simply holding sand in my hand. God knows about and as numbered every tiny grain of sand and I could not imagine trying to count what was held in my hand much less all the sand in the world. I couldn't help but be thankful and worship God on the beach because if God cares so much to number grains of sand, imagine how he feels about the 6th day creation in which He created in His own image! God is good, All the time.

Honesty

Lebron James gets the ball and drives up the paint into a layup! He takes the shot.........and scores! James makes a last minute layup to carry the Cavs over the Bulls for the win! Wait....ladies and gentlemen Labron James is arguing with the official! He is saying he traveled??? The shot isn't good? What! The ref calls him for traveling and the Bulls win by one!

Does that sound realistic? No folks, basketball isn't like that. Even honest people know that in B-ball its only illegal if you get caught. If Lebron James, or any other player travels and does not get called they aren't going to say anything. Like it or not this is reality and most likely always will be but not in every sport.

Golf is, and always as been known as a gentleman's game where participants police themselves. The atmosphere in Golf, Tennis, Curling, and I'm sure a couple other sports, is refreshing in a world where you must get caught to admit to doing wrong. Despite the gentleman's aspect of Golf we rarely see such a great example of this reality but this past weekend we got just that. Brian Davis was involved in a playoff for the Heritage tournament win when his club touched a foreign object during his back swing, which is illegal. The trick is that no official saw that happen. While many people may have simply ignored the fact or played ignorant, Mr. Davis called the official over and told him, he was then properly given a two shot penalty. Without the penalty Davis would have won. Congratulations to Jim Furyk for winning the tournament, you deserved it. However, I must commend Brian Davis for showing true integrity where many would choose the opposite route. That is some well-needed good publicity for golf and his decision will payoff with time!
