Post-Meet Musings.

Hey Lighthouse!

     So Fox Island is over, and it was a really interesting meet.  I know Lighthouse 1 nearly made it to finals in spite of a rough first night, Lighthouse 2 was in Consolation A, and Lighthouse 3 made it all the way to Consolation B finals.  Congratulations to all the teams on their excellent statistics.  They're pretty impressive.  But while I was in the middle of this meet (night one, more specifically) I was reminded by Matthew 6:33-34 that our success is not measured by numbers, but by how we glorify God and seek to serve Him with our quizzing.  It's His sport, after all, being based on His word.  So while the numbers say one thing, we must of course fix our eyes on Jesus and remember that His love stands through everything and is what enables us to do this.  With Meet number 3 on the way, let's keep that in mind.  Well done everyone.  Have a good week unwinding (or studying, preferably).  See you later,

-J

Matthew 6:33-34
    "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (NIV1984)
