Our men's church basketball team just finished up a perfect season!
I'm not kidding.
We were 0 and something...
Despite the losses, we had a great time. And I learned some things about the men in our church --
1. We have some great guys around this church. Guys who are just fun to hang out with. Except the time Bill pulled an 18 yr old kid's arm off and tried to beat him with it...but you'll have to ask him about that.
2. We have fun together. I don't know that any team laughed (at themselves or otherwise) more than our team did this season.
3. Our guys are great at reaching out. About half our team was from guys outside of the church this year. It's all about building relationships.
4. We are in desperate need of some scorers. Enough said.
5. Most of the losing can and should be blamed on the coaching. Like Roy Williams of the UNC Tarheels always says, "When they win it's the players. When they lose it's the coaching." I've been saying that all season. It's the only thing Roy and I have in common. (Coach's note to self: increase ministry activity with Davidson College Basketball program next year)
On a slightly related note - since the title of this post is "Perfect Season", you should know that the title of this weekend's message in the God Love Sex series is "Perfect Seasoning" - as we talk about what it takes to prepare ourselves for the lifelong relationship of marriage. Be there, you won't be disappointed.
