Boonsboro Broncos Championship Video

Here was our final game this year, as well as some highlight shots from other games.  I really enjoy spending time and coaching Dawson, so this was a lot of fun.  I have coached him the last two years and we have an overall record together of 14-5.  We will see what next year brings as he will play for the 9-10 team one more year.  I made this so he would have something to look back on as he got older.

I hope you enjoy.

God must increase and I must decrease

Here we are at the end of another football season.  I enjoyed coaching the 9-10 year old team for my son and his friends for the second year.  I couldn’t help but make the analogy of how football practice and our walk with God are so similar.  Gathering the kids for practice, many of these kids do not have a clue on what they are doing or the work and repetition it takes to get better.  As the coach it is my responsibility to show them the correct way of doing it.  We do it over and over again until the child has mastered the drill that we are working on.  I would be doing a disservice to the child to not take the time to show him how to do it correctly.  The reason for making them do it again and again until it is correct is because #1 if not done correctly injury can occur and #2 by doing it correct the child will be much more effective in a game situation.

Just like our relationship with God, He is there to shows us how to do it correctly to avoid injury and to be more effective.  God does not move us on to other responsibilities until we have mastered exactly what it is He is teaching us now.  And just like these children learning to play football, we need to do the drill over and over again until we have mastered it before God will move forward with us.  The purpose is so we can be more like Christ.  In order for us to be more like Christ, we first need Christ within us. In the words of John the Baptist, standing waist-deep in the river: “He must increase and I must decrease.” Paul says the same thing in Galatians 2:20: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.”  The only way Christ can increase and I can decrease is similar to a football practice, constant repetition and involvement within His word and talking with him through prayer.
