CUP OF ENCOURAGEMENT (Adversity) Yesterday was a double dip disaster for my Tigers and Bulldogs. One team almost pulled it out and the other took it on the chin. Either way I thank the players for their effort and the distraction the competition gives from the pressing matters of this life. Adversity is the common thread that runs through all of our lives. We would like to avoid the unavoidable. Our reaction to adversity of great importance. Walter Anderson, author, states: "Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself." The Tigers can win out and play for a national championship. The Bulldogs can win out and be rewarded with a bowl game. We can dust ourselves off and try again too. How are we going to react to adversity? Join me tomorrow for another Cup of Encouragement.
