GOOD MORNING!
George Edward Waddell was born on Friday the 13th and died on April Fool's Day. He was a great athlete with the emotional make-up of a child. Waddell held the National League record for 349 strikeouts by a lefty for 61 years and won 20 games in a year- 4 years in a row.
However, he was definitely a case for adult ADD. In a single year he won 22 games for the A's, played rugby for Michigan, performed in a play, wrestled alligators, saved a woman from drowning, shot a friend thru the hand, and was bitten by a lion. Though he won 193 games in his career he could have done so much more if he hadn't been so easily distracted.
What is the biggest distraction you face daily? In Philippians 3 Paul talks about a distraction that affects everyone, the past!” Forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead” Philippians 3:13b
Think about your own life for a moment, what gives you the most trouble: Trying to remember the things you forget, or trying to forget the things you remember?
We all have baggage and the devil tries to use it against us. The secret is to not let our past distract us from serving God in the here and now.
