"Christian in the Rough" Blog

Last week I published a newsletter and a blog entry about my vacation to British Columbia, and how I was awestruck by the splendor of God's creation. I cited Romans 1:20, which claims we have no excuse for not knowing God, since we only have to observe the wonders of nature to capture a glimpse of his power and divinity.

My friend Mano Watsa is more than a basketball player. He was a four-time OUA Conference All-Star, two-time All-Canadian point guard and captain for the University of Waterloo. In 1999 he toured with the USA Athletes In Action team, was awarded the National TSN Award for combining excellence in athletics, academics and community involvement, and was named University of Waterloo Male Athlete of the Year.

A couple of years ago my family and I visited the beach at Christie Lake Conservation Area for a day of rest and relaxation. The people at Christie have installed a special screen that allows them to chlorinate part of the water and keep it separate from the rest of the lake.

When I played hockey, the best referees always set a consistent, high standard of play for each game. They noticed - and called - every infraction, no matter how minor it seemed. Ironically, their strict enforcement of the rules led to an amazing freedom for us as players. A clearly defined set of standards allowed us to focus on the important thing - playing the game to the best of our ability.
