Hard is what makes it great.\u201d<\/em> Jimmy Dugan, \u201cA League of Their Own\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hearing the above quote often in golf, I didn\u2019t know its origin until now. A League of Their Own told the story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which existed from 1943-1954 during WWII, saving Major League Baseball. Women stepped into men\u2019s roles while they fought the war; not easy, but great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Doing hard things makes them great. Consistently taking the high road, forgiving our offenses, praying for our offenders, giving cheerfully, and setting a Christ-like example takes work. Jesus went first and wants us to follow. God never said our journey wouldn\u2019t have potholes; He promised it would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Practice a do-it-again lifestyle, one right act at a time, and create a legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n Lord, forgive us for putting sacrifice before righteous living. Help us today do the right thing, then help us do it again and again. Let us shine our lights brightly as we pursue Jesus and become more like Him.\u00a0 IJNIP.
