I am glad to say that GBC is back in full effect, back in the groove, back in the saddle, just back in the gym where we belong.I must say, it took some time, but we got it together as team. Actually 2 teams. We do have some new faces on the court as well as the same ol' ones that we are used to.Have you ever got stuck in a "rut" if you will, as getting used to not changing anything or hanging out with the same GREAT crowds.Try to invite someone to an "anything" sports event , no matter how small and no matter how rookie-ish the talent.( I just made up a new word)and see what type of response you will get....Never a "no , I don't have the time" or "no, I don't want to watch nonathletic kids or old people running around trying to look like they can play"
On the contrary. I have asked 5 friends of mine that I have gotten to know at my daughters school if they would like to join our team... their response was an Overoutstanding(new word) YES, Thanks for asking....Thanks for asking? That's all it took?That was as easy as Not asking.
I want to start asking more.I want to start sharing more of our "friendship meter". Yes we all have a friendship meter.I think mine was frozen at "I have enough friends and I don't want anymore"side of the meter.That is just me.I have always been a, I am satisfied with what I have type of guy. which can be very boring to most people.I am going to Try to get out of MY old rut and stop being a backseat fan of life. There are way to many great Christians out there to keep to yourself like I have been doing most of MY life...God knows I am not getting any younger.
God knows we all need to share in his fellowship with each other, we just need to stop trying to keep him to ourselves....
Try it..I would love to have 3 or 4 teams next Volleyball season.All GBC needs to do is ASK!!!
Christian friends needed
