Those Privileged

to Serve

Foul Ball!

by Steve Higginbotham

His name is Steve Bartman. Name doesn't ring a bell? Well,

what if I gave you a couple hints? Game 6...Foul Ball...Cubs

Fan. Now you know who I'm talking about. Last week, this

26 year old's life took a dramatic change for the worse. Be-

cause he unintentionally interfered with the catching of a

foul ball, this young man has been forced to spend the last

week of his life in hiding. Many Cubs fans blame him for the

Cubs loss and several out of control fans literally want him

dead.

Personally, I feel terrible for the guy. I too, wanted the Cubs

to win. But this whole incident has reminded me of how

warped people's values sometimes are. This was a game,

just a game. Threaten a man's life because of a game?

Threaten a man's life and his family's life because of a foul

ball? Ridiculous!

But sports aren't the only arena in which one can witness

warped values and priorities. What about Christianity? Our

eternal destiny, whether it be in Heaven and Hell, hangs in

the balance. But instead of focusing our energy in that all

important matter, we give little attention to spiritual devel-

opment, and get wrapped up in relatively trivial matters

such as earning money, entertaining ourselves, the label on

our clothes, the style of car we drive, the size of our house,

and a host of other equally trivial matters.

Friends, if you're disgusted that a man's life is in jeopardy for

deflecting a foul ball, you should be. That's crazy! But make

sure that you take a good look at your life and make sure

you're equally disgusted by one's eternal life being in jeop-

ardy for matters that are equally as trivial as a foul ball.

Bible Trivia On what occasion did the prophet Nathan

make a mistake?

Answer to last week’s Bible trivia question: Acts 4:36 “Now Joseph, a Levite of

Cyprian birth, who was also called Barnabas by the apostles (which translated

means Son of Encouragement),”
