Giving Thanks

To see C. Vivian Stringer being inducted into the Nasmith Basketball Hall of Fame, is to be amazed.

Her work ethic, her determination, her unwillingness to be bowed is something everyone, whether man or woman, can use as a model. But the thing that strikes me the most is her faith.

I won't get into all of the things she's been through, but it's definitely enough to where a normal person, an unfaithful person, probably would have cracked a long time ago. Through it all, she praised the Lord and leaned on Him for strength. Regardless of the difficulty, she found her strength in Him.

A man is only so strong...it's part of our physical limitations. But relying on He who is omnipotent will fortify your soul.

Praise be to Him.
