TEAM 180:
How many times have we heard someone say, "I've been here for longer than anyone! Do I have the same rules as everyone else?"

There is an All American Linebacker on the South Carolina Gamecocks Football Team that has been in the news all week.
He feels he doesn't need to practice with the Team. He feels he is too good to go through all the drills.
The Coach is in a tough position. If he let's this player get away with it it will bring the rest of the Team down. On the other hand if he reprimands the player then the player will fake an injury.

If the player fakes an injury and the Coach says to get in there anyway then what could happen? If the player does get a career ending injury then the Coach has a possible lawsuit on his hands and his career is at risk.
As you can tell one Selfish decision can destroy a whole Team and the Reputation of the University. This will have long term effects if the situation isn't resolved immediately.

This is a Great Player with a Poor Attitude. The NFL Teams have already blackballed him because of his reputation.
What if he was that Great and a Servant? He would make Millions in the NFL and possibly be the Greatest Linebacker in the history of the NFL.

This same scenario above can be True for us in a different way!

We have to always be Humble and Green and willing to keep learning and getting Better Every Day!
On our High School Football Team all 100 players would get in a Huddle and say the following:
"Every day and every way we get a little better!"
We did this to Remind us that each day is Super important and at the End of a Season all those days of getting better a little at a time add up.

The Coaches used to say, "Put each Wind Sprint in the Bank to Collect Interest so when you need A Little Extra at the end of the game it will be there for you to cash in!"
Friends, God never wants us to rest on what was done yesterday and in the past. God wants us to continue to Grow.
Green Fruit grows and as it ages it gets Ripe! The Growth and Excitement is the Journey and the Challenge of becoming way more then you ever expected!
180 SECRET: Always Stay Green!
God has a Great Plan for you to Grow Today and into the Future!

What are your Dreams today?
Did you know that God put those Dreams in your Heart when He put your inward parts together in Mom's Womb? Psalm 139
My Beautiful Wife Jana knows this and that is why she Read something about God to you all those years every night at bedtime.
Mom loves you with and Everlasting Patient Love and now it's time to pull out some of those lessons that she shared with you that are Stored in your Bank.
STAY GREEN MY FRIENDS!
"He is able to do Exceedingly Abundant beyond all that you can Dream!" Eph 3:20
God has Blessed you with a Wonderful Mother and His Incredible Plan for your Life!
Just Go! WIN THE DAY!
