Hi everyone!
This is that mysterious Coach who appears in an E-votional every once in awhile. I remember back to the days of Janet and I studied several Ortland books. The one she referred to in this evotional by Ann Ortland was on our coffee table for months. We also listened to some of their tapes - not an easy process back in those days!
Ortland’s pastored a huge church in Pasadena and finally one Sunday we bundled up the girls (then about 5 or 6 years old) and drove the hour and a half drive to attend that church and see this couple who we had followed from afar and who had meant a lot in our Christian growth. I think I got lost several times getting there but with that “divine” guidance from Janet riding shotgun (the GPS of the day) we finally made it. I have forgotten what occurred in that service, but I remember the jouney with family to it well.
This trip to Pasadena was certainly not urgent but it was necessary. Are you like me. So many of my fondest memories are of the family piling into the car and going somewhere. It’s funny, almost all of the urgent things of the day have disappeared from memory, but things like this trip still remain as I look back.
I constantly tell my teams. Life is about the journey not the destination. Today is not a rehearsal for tomorrow. Today is life. Thanks for letting me into your SPORTMOM world . . .
