Each Morning

Each morning, at approximately 5:25 a.m. after Debbie and I have run our three miles, I turn my radio on to 610 Sports out of Kansas City. Then I begin shaving and listening to my favorite morning sports anchor, DA, trash everyone in sports and complain about overpaid coaches.

This morning I heard an interesting interview with one of the KC Royals pitchers, who blew a save opportunity a couple of nights ago, talk about the terrible outing that he experienced. He made the following comments, “Just didn’t have my stuff tonight”, “I thought too much pitching against the Tigers”, “Just had an off night”.

I was thinking about those comments and asking myself, who else can work for a living and go 10-10 on a season and be called a success story, except a KC Royals Baseball Player?

As a Superintendent, I’m expected to have 100% graduation rates, 100% proficiency on state assessments, no students failing courses, 100% highly qualified teachers, balance a $8 million dollar budget, and provide for all the needs of our students in Osage City.

If I fail, there are consequences. If I had 50% rates, I would be classified a failure. I would be fired.

In our spiritual life, I am so glad that we have a Savior that gives us grace in the most needed situations of life. During those failures and out-right sin, we have a Savior that loves us and heals us when were not very lovable.
