February 15 – “Breaking sports news …”


Breaking sports news … dateline Waco … Luke Vaughan and the rest of his young basketballers had the game of a lifetime Saturday morning.  The team won … I think.  But that is certainly not the news.  Young Luke garnered the headlines this time with a grandparent-calling-to-report-the-news-worthy report.  Seems Luke had what some might call a “hot hand” in this encounter.  Just how hot was the young ball handler? 

He scored 24 points, shooting from what would be three point land - if his league allowed three pointers, mid-range jumpers, put back rebounds, and breakaway fast breaks.  And not only that, he was credited with five assists, getting his teammates into the action as well.  If you have been counting with me, that amounts to a total of 34 points Luke was directly responsible for.  Now here’s the real amazing part … his team’s total score was … 37 points.  Luke was directly responsible for 34 of his team’s 37 points.  If my high school math serves me correctly, that equates to almost 92% of the scoring. 

That is nothing short of astounding, basketball fans.  Give the young man a hand …

James 5:16 says, “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.  The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”

Father, thank you for the fun Luke and his buddies had yesterday.  Now would you give them a day of spiritual “fun” today?  Amen.
