Spent the day at the Va Sports Hall of Fame in Portsmouth, VA with some of the guys who work in the Cool Spring Rec Center / Ministry. Going to the Hall was a great time to reflect on the days and players of old. The fellas reminisced about memories of former games that spanned a variety of generations. As well as played in the Nascar simulated driving game, shot baskets, threw speed pitch baseballs, and tossed footballs. It was a great day in downtown Portsmouth.
As I think about the Hall of Fame, I am reminded of those in scripture that God declares as Hall of Fame people - Hebrews 11. By their faith and lives, people like Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, and other people are mentioned to provide for us a model in how we should walk by faith and live a life pleasing to God. As these athletes represent something significant to their sport, how awesome it would be for us to to be remembered for the significance of our faith.
We should strive to live a life with the anticipation of hearing God speak these words to us,"Well done thy good and faithful servant."
