Dear Southmoore Family & Friends,
Basketball season is here. Can you believe it? The “round-balloons” are excited. The fans are as well.
Locally, there is not only a great measure of excitement, but also a lot of unanswered questions when it comes to the OKC Thunder basketball team. Last season was a disaster. As they say, time will tell as to how good this year’s team will be.
Last week, the Thunder basketball team was playing the LA Lakers. I was looking forward to watching the game on TV. The Thunder got off to a bad start. What could go wrong did go wrong for the Thunder – missed shots, bad passes, poor rebounding, and no defense. When the Thunder got down by 26 points, I decided to watch something else.
I guess you could say that I am not a true-blue Thunder fan. If I was, I would support them regardless of the score.
Don’t get me wrong, I do want the Thunder to win – every game. I want them to not only succeed but win the NBA Championship.
When I changed the channel and began to watch something else, I concluded that the Thunder has a lot of work to do.
I thought that this year’s team would not do any better than last year’s team.
Before I turned the TV off, I decided to check the score and see how bad the Thunder got beat. Boy, was I surprised. The Thunder rallied to win the game!
I’ve noticed that a lot of Christians have given up on the church. Things have been tough this past year and a half. Things are not the same. And what I discovered is that when people stop coming to church, they also stop praying, reading their bible, and sharing their faith.
So let me encourage you to be a Jesus fan. Support your church. It may appear that Christians are losing, but be very sure of this, Jesus is coming again (Rev. 22:7). Which means, we win in the end!
To Live is Christ,
Bro. Danny Frazee
