  • Hit the ‘Stay’ Button

    February 10, 2010

    devotional
    Set: 

    We all have seen the ads about the “Easy” button. Just hit the Easy button and things become easy. I actually have an Easy button on my desk that doesn’t work anymore, because I used it so much. I think the batteries died.

    I love the “easy “button,” but I think a better button would be a “New” button — one that gives us a fresh start. We could hit it at the beginning of a year (or month or day) and start over with a clean slate. Wouldn’t that be great? We could hit the New button for lots of things: diet, workout routine, pets, schools, sports teams, coaches, friends or jobs. The list could go on and on.

    Zack Cox couldn’t take it anymore. Frustration was flying at him from all directions like 90-mph fastballs from a pitching machine gone berserk. The game he loved felt more and more like a prison sentence. So he did what any athlete would do. He found a bathroom and broke down.

  • Hold the Line!

    April 23, 2013

    devotional
    Set: 

    Every football player knows the value of a good offensive line. There’s a mild disgust when a defensive back finds a hole and the play is over before the offense could produce something. That’s where it all starts—or ends. There’s something formed in the hearts of men/women when they stand shoulder to shoulder with their teammates; and the strength as a unit is greater than the sum of the parts. There’s a bond formed and a confidence forged deep in the soul.

  • Holding On

    October 07, 2005

    devotional
    Set: 

    Those of us who watch a lot of sports programs on television have probably seen the St. Louis Cardinals’ “blanket” commercial. It begins with a man who wraps a red St. Louis Cardinals’ blanket around himself. As it turns out, the blanket is the one constant in his life as he grows up. As a child, he uses it as a cape when he runs up the steps, and he drapes it over his bed when he studies. It is on the seat when he learns to play the drums as a teenager, in the trunk when he moves out of the house, and around his girlfriend while they watch a movie. The commercial ends with the man wrapping the blanket around his child as these words come on the screen: “Without sports, what would we hold on to?”

    Hollywood Hero

    One by one, the children came.

    They came from ramshackle villages and tarp-covered homes, their gaunt frames running barefoot through unkempt fields of grass to a skinny dirt road on the outskirts of town. Temporarily leaving behind their hardscrabble reality of hunger, disease and death, they lined both sides of the path to marvel at a new sight.

    Home Away From Home

    Jamaica native Shereesha Richards has come a long way—in miles traveled and in the growth of her faith and athletic career.

    Home Court

    In the tight-knit community of Middleburg, Fla., residents have a history of showing support and commitment to their neighbors. So when Middleburg High School Volleyball Coach Carrie Prewitt got word that one of her players and her two younger sisters were headed for foster care, she knew what God was calling her to do.

  • Home Crowd

    November 09, 2012

    devotional
    Set: 

    For an athlete, there is nothing like competing in front of a home crowd. Nothing is more inspiring than hearing the cheers, feeling the energy and responding to the wave of encouragement. In the summer of 2012, US decathlete Ashton Eaton road the cheers of a home crowd to a remarkable accomplishment at the US Olympic Trials. During the 2-day 10-event competition, Eaton set two world decathlon records in the 100 meters and the long jump, but still needed one more personal best in the final event, the grueling 1500 meters, to break the world record for the overall competition.

  • Home Run

    September 30, 2003

    skit

    This is basically a music video format to the song “Home Run” by Geoff Moore and the Distance. Satan is the pitcher and his buddies are the fielders. One person is up to bat and he has friends on base that he has to get home (heaven). The first two pitches are strikes (swing and miss). The song ends with the batter hitting a home run and Satan falling in defeat. This skit stresses the importance of keeping on keeping on for Christ. Lives are in the balance (those on base), depending on us to do the right thing (hitting a home run). Satan is trying to make us stumble (throwing curves, spit balls, cheating to make us strike out). Satan is pitching to the batter, who swings twice and misses.
