I've had a lot of back trouble in the past month and a half. I've had doctors telling me that I have to make "lifestyle" changes, i.e.; I have to stop lifting weights. Simultaneously, I've been reading a book by Dave Dravecky, a former MLB pitcher who was an All-Star, went to the World Series, and had it all going on.
Dravecky developed Cancer in his throwing arm. Doctors amputated the arm in the peak of his career. The book is called Called Up. Dravecky uses his experiences to illustrate that we pin our faith on other gods. He: his arm. Me: vanity or selfishness; whatever. You? (Take your time, and be honest.)
God sometimes takes these false gods away from us to fix our focus on Him. Anyway, its a cool book for the Christian-Baseball fan/historian.
