Years ago I played one-on-one basketball with a youth pastor at the church I attended. We usually played 3 or 4 times each week. Each game went to 20 points; first one to win four games was that day’s winner.
When I moved to another city and our games stopped, I was a perfect 27-0 against him. It’s not that I was that much better than Danny, because I wasn’t. We were very evenly matched. Our series’ usually went the distance with me winning 4-3.
The difference was this: as much as he wanted to win, I wanted it just a bit more.
Now, here’s the purpose of telling you about our games. I have this expression that I inevitably say to Danny on each of our afternoon battles out on the court.
