The Homeless and Soccer - It's Not What You Think!

I have learned a lot about expectations over the last year.

I have had to retrain myself in what a win might look like in this journey of helping the homeless.

I like to compare it to my love of sports.

In the sport of volleyball a point is scored on every play.

In basketball if your team shoots over 50% field gold percentage in the game your doing good.

In baseball you are an all star if you hit over 300 or 30%.

In working with the homeless a win is just one.

I have seen more men either revert back to their old way of life on the streets and/or men who would not seize the opportunity to get off the streets.

I think of WB, Kevin, Darrell, Paul, Thurman, Dave, Tom, John, Wayne, Walt, Eric, and Jerry.

All of them are still going down a very difficult path.

Yes it is their choice!

In God's eyes is not about a high percentage or a point on every play.

It's all about the one!

I heard a message from Andy Stanley on this topic the other day.

We need to look for the one who we can help.

Most people on the street will not want to trust you, but I stay focused on that next one who will.

That one is worth it all.

As the good shepherd risked it all for the one lost sheep, we should do the same!

There must be a reason why I like soccer so much.

It only takes one score to win a game.
