JIM CAIN

GOOD MORNING!

For six straight years Carlos Zambrano pitched opening day for the Cubs. The Cubs signed him as a teenager and he quickly became a fan favorite, but the fans could never figure out which Zambrano was going to show up each night.  One moment Zambrono was a charming family man devoted to his faith and the next a raving violent beast of a man.

Known for his passion on and off the mound; Carlos, like many athletes today, points to the sky after he pitches an inning. At first, I thought this was an act designed to play off of the fan's beliefs.

During games, Carlos can be found standing halfway between the pitcher's mound and the dugout; his eyes turned heavenward, his hands raised as if in conversation. But with whom?..."Any time I finish an inning, I look to the sky and I give thanks to God for that inning, be it a bad or good inning," Zambrano said. "I just want to give all the glory to God."

The Bible says that everything we do can be done for the glory of God and Carlos is trying to do just that.

With that in mind, what are you going to do today and who are you going to do it for?
