Forgiveness

A quick parallel to the grace of God...A soft pat during the lineup card exchange from Detroit Tiger pitcher Armando Gallaraga to the back of umpire Jim Joyce.

Soak in the magnitude of that act.

Joyce admitted to making a monumental error in ruining a perfect game on the last out. Perfect games come along roughly every 200,000 games played. As early as the next day, he was outwardly forgiven by the person damaged the most. I praise God for the example that Gallaraga showed to all of us in the business of athletics. God expects us to be competitive, but not at the expense of our character.

Blessings,

Coach
