17.Jan.2010 Be Gentle…
What do we teach our kids all the time?
Be gentle, share, be nice, don’t hit, don’t take things, don’t steal anything, what would Jesus do, etc… All good things of course, but then comes sports.
Isaac just had his first basketball game over the weekend and on the way home Heidi and I were laughing at the irony of what we teach at home and then what is expected of them on the court or field or whatever. As you can see from the pict above Isaac (in green) wasn’t quite sure why the boy kept stealing the ball from him (over and over). That isn’t Christlike is it? I mean at home that would result in the lose of Wii privileges.
Basically when it comes to athletics your kid should do everything opposite of what you have been teaching.

basically. (doesn’t that word look really weird on it’s own…and so many syllables!)
the stories i hear from kathi about rick’s basketball parents astound me—Christian parents being not so Christian. but apparently it is okay when it is about sports.
