CCU Softball Week 8

Hey there folks!

Well, we're just around the corner from playoffs--two more weeks to be exact. There's plenty of time left to sharpen up those skills and be placed in the top 4 teams; and if you don't place, don't fret, for CCU softball is not all about being the top four teams. Your team may be rewarded for having such great attitudes. But remember, don't just have a winning attitude because of a physical award; have a winning attitude of the mental and spiritual rewards. Your attitude/spirit, on and off the field, may make a big difference for either your teammates or your opponents, and that's a very vital factor of this softball league. Nothing matters unless you play with the right mind and heart. When God sees a winning attitude, long-term results will follow. Here are a couple of Bible verses that will hopefully encourage you:

2 Timothy 2:5-"Similarly, if anyone competes as an athlete, he [or she] does not receive the victor's crown unless he [or she] competes according to the rules."

1 Corinthians 9:24-25- "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever."

Philippians 3:13b-14-..."But one things I do: Forgetting what is behind me and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
