Young man: “Yeah but, why do I have to…?”
Old man: “If you can’t give your all with the little things, don’t expect bigger things.” (Lecrae on Twitter)
Pat Summitt retired today as the coach of the University of Tennessee women’s basketball team. She’ll go down in history as one of the greatest coaches of any sport of any gender. She’s won 8 National Championships and has taken her team to an equally ridiculous 22 final four appearances.
38 years ago Pat Summitt took the position of women’s basketball coach for 250 bucks a month. She had to drive the team bus herself. She even had to do the team laundry.
Do everything, even the small things, as unto the Lord. (Colossians 3:17)
“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin…”
Zechariah 4:10 (NLT)
