Coaches are familiar with famous slogans. All through my career at Oakridge High School I always had slogans on T-shirts, in pictures or painted on walls to try to motivate our athletes. One famous slogan that I used was, “TEAM, me.” “Team” is capitalized because that’s where everyone’s focus should be. “Me” is in lower case to show that individual goals are secondary to the team goals. A great slogan for the Christian life could be, “God, me.” It’s easy to understand the concept of a big God because we all know that He is bigger than we are. The hard part is allowing Him to reign over all we do. Because most of us are competitors and problem solvers, we feel the need to do everything we can for our programs. We put so much pressure on ourselves to have a great program that we sometimes lose perspective and the ability to have fun. Christians can also feel this way. We put pressure on ourselves to live a perfect life and do all these Christian “things” because we think that’s what it’s about. We get so busy and tired that we lose the joy of knowing God. God wants our relationship with Him to be a joy, not a burden. If we focus more on knowing Him and less on doing, we’ll experience the presence of God. Schugars/Jackson
