Practice Practice Practice
So today for the first time I wandered outside my front door and watched the football team practice, albeit only for about 30 seconds but I did actually watch them. I noticed a couple things.
1) There where two kickers practicing field goals. I thought to my self our kicking is terrible they need to practice like that. Maybe they should kick 500 field goals a day and we’ll get better. Then I thought man they are way too close the need to back it up at least 20 yards, they’re making every single one of them. Then I reminded myself that I never played organized football so I shouldn’t critique their practice methods.
2) Then I thought about how I train myself to be godly. Or don’t as the case may be. If we as Christians put the serious two-plus hours of practice at least five days a week that the Cyclone football team puts in what would that make us? And we have so much more at stake here then a College level game!

the kickers will prolly kick about 50 kicks from 20 yards, then 50 from 30, then 50 from 40, etc...
and if they have time, they will repeat it.
It is the same with every specialty position.

differences:
-we don't practice, we only get sideline pep talks during the game
-there is only 1 game we play in, and often we spend the first 20 years not realizing we are playing

In reality through, Dan, we are in the pre-season all our lives and only when we die are we perfected and get to face the head coach
