Back to Camp
I'm writing this post in the Guglielmino Athletic Facility's computer cluster. I'm in the midst of my second consecutive 12-hour football day. Now, please realize that a 12-hour day is not straight practice. It includes meetings, meals, and the occasional lift.
This kind of "training camp" mentality is always a little bit of fun at first, but it starts to wear on me very quickly. Spending so much time around the same guys, with the same humor, and the same differences gets things to be very tense in a very short time. It's during times like these that I find my patience truly tested, because I find myself wanting to take the conversation out of God's hands.
A few weeks ago, I snapped at a few of my teammates for a very incorrect view they held on a controversial topic. Since then, I have been very strongly challenged to fight my inclinations for disputes during our locker room times. So far, so good...but I have five more days of locker room time to go.
Not much of a challenge in this post, I know, but this one's for me. This one is a personal challenge to present the face of righteousness to a dark room for the last few weeks of my career.

Hang in there! You're right where God wants you and it sounds like right where you can have some great influence. It might not seem like their listening, but I promise they will realize or look back someday and go, "You know Big Bob Morton was right!"
Have a Great Christmas!
