We watched the home run derby the other night and Brandon started telling me about Josh Hamilton. Brandon played bball against him in high school. What an incredible story he has. I mean really really powerful.
A story proving the Truth that hope is never lost! That a loving, supportive, godly faithful wife is priceless and that God can heal and turn around anybody's life!!
Read his story in these articles. so powerful!!!!

that is one of the reasons I am so in love with sports. because the stories behind the success! Same with the Olympics - there are such awesome awesome stories of victory, of overcoming such great struggles and success in Christ. Good stuff! :) Enjoy!!
His story makes me think of the opening passages in one of the Corinthians, I think its 1st but also check 2nd just to be sure. Paul writes that the wisdom of the world is 'folly' compared to the awesomeness found in Christ Jesus.
ReplyDeleteI like his description, that everything we think we have accomplished in life just looks silly when compared to the awesome power of God. And that we can do nothing without God's help.
What a testimony!
