And I can relate to getting "most improved," but rarely even coming close to MVP. I think it is a great thing to enjoy the beautiful & meaningful things that come into our life! And if we can recreate them as appropriate, go for it! However, when we tenaciously cling to them and want them more than we want God, that is a problem. We hurt the heart of God, "shoot ourselves in the foot" and beyond, when we put anything and anyone before the only true source of lasting moment by moment life - love, strength, energy, hope, etc. Good thoughts Storelli!!

Some of my best memories are from sports and the many great coaches I've had. Are you saying that I need to be careful about how I pursue recreating those "good times"? As a kid, I rarely won the MVP award but often got the "Most Improved" award. I guess what you are saying is that there is a danger in centering my whole life around "winning the award." Improvement is good, but it can trip me up if it's the only thing I am doing. Wow. Some of my best memories are from sports and the many great coaches I’ve had.
