Reality Check



The Hockey Season is quickly approaching and I can hardly wait. Especially now that I have returned to MCC, I yearn for the Return of Hockey. Looking forward to all things Hockey. Getting on the ice for pickup Hockey on Fridays and watching the Leafs games Saturday. The two big highlights to life on Prince Edward Island.
As the NHL Season approaches I can only hope my favorite NHL team, the Toronto Maple Leafs are taking this time for a reality check. Pre-season is an excellent time for any team to look back on how they stunk in the previous season and how to improve the next. The question is, will the reality of their previous defeat be shown to them? Or will they neglect the obvious and continue on with a similar trend this year?
These are big questions in my mind. Hey, why not compare this concept with our Christian walks. As Christians we know that mistakes are so easy to make, but how often do we take that time to reflect on the defeats we have had in life, so that we may excel, for the cause of Christ.
I believe we should all have a grasp of reality. Without a grasp on the obvious, its so very hard to press onward toward that goal the Apostle Paul speaks of, that prize which is found in our heavenly father Jesus Christ.
May we all take time today to look in the mirror and find the reality of who we are, and who we want to be for our savior.
