What is a Coach?

A friend, a guiding hand, a leader, a loving presence, a helper, understanding, caring, prayerful. Does that embody a coach. When I think about coaches and coaching I think of Tony Dungy, Bo Schembeckler, Dr. James Naismith, Phog Allen, Vince Lombardi but all of those are sports coaches. What about the BIG GUY? If Jesus was my life coach if I could totally adhere to his way wouldn't it be great... I mean on Monday nights and Saturday mornings I coach soccer, but what values am I portraying... Am I living up to the standards God wanted for me as a man of God., not completely and I can guarantee it, but that is no reason why I shouldn't try my hardest. Sometime either this summer before school starts up or next spring I'm going on a bike/camping trip, who knows how long but God and I need to get closer together for a while. I need to get away from the city and get somewhere that I can hear God clearer... I've got a long way before I take any trip like that though, physically, my knee needs quite a bit of work, but that's why I'll be training as soon as I can... My soccer team did so well on Saturday it was a hard-fought game, oh and the Classic Crime concert was alright wish I knew the songs better... Looks like I'll be up all night once again, might as well just grab a cup of coffee sit on my porch and enjoy the sun, once it starts coming up...
