[...] Loswhit put this Michael Jordan quote up on his blog tonight and told us to “quit complaining and keep shooting.” I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot . . . and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why . . . I succeed. – Michael Jordan [...]

I miss MJ. I like Bobby Knight's quote:"Most people have the will to win, few have the will to prepare to win."

Thanks for posting this quote. Puts things in perspective. Also makes me think of one of Thomas Edison's quotes "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."

Edison and MJ are saying that you can't just be good/talented/skilled/gifted. You have to go out there and DO something. It's often hard and not everything makes the highlight reels at your retirement party.

I grew up as a huge fan of MJ. I remember when he retired. No, not that time… or that one either… I'm talking about the FIRST time…

Me too as a worship leader. Sometimes, I feel like the Devil is trying to make me write myself off as a mediocre to below average musician that shouldn't lead others. With leading youth, it gets harder sometimes with the words they say.

But I've been working with a vocal coach for a year now and learning/re-learning guitar for almost 2 years. My close friends say I'm improving. I'm not giving up in leading people to worship the GOD who deserves all the glory and has carried me this far.
