There they were...Nick's BB team, all five of them. The team they were playing, about 20. I don't know if you realize this, if you have 5 members of a BB team...all of you play all the time with no breaks, just playing. 5 is all they have on the C team, the lowest of all teams at LC. Nick is the smallest member of the smallest team on the C team at LC.
They won... 19-17 in the last 20 seconds of the game. I have never been a big fan of BB, but this team inspires me, I don't want to miss a game. There is something about being an underdog that overcomes great odds that inspires even the jaded. Don't despise the small things...
A small baby, in a small town, in a small country, born to poor parents...Right! Change the world? I don't think so...Odds are stacked...
He did, He does still...overcome great odds to make all our smallness into something great. Our weakness, his strength. Our 10th...His surplus. Our attempts...His overcoming.
Joy to the World!
