OMMITMENT. “Commit thy way unto the

Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to

pass.” Sparks of joy and excitement flood the campus when

each sport begins. Whether it is volleyball, basketball, soc­

cer, baseball, or golf, scores of students anticipate watching

or participating in the collegiate activities. Athletes com­

mit themselves to training hard and spending long hours of

practice trying to be the best players they can be. When

athletes humble themselves under the leadership of God,

they can accomplish their goals. Coaches work to instill dis­

cipline and character in team members, not only for the

game, but also for life.

Fans, wearing their favorite athlete’s jersey, add moti­

vation and encouragement to the team. In the midst of all

this excitement, athletes, fans and relatives are reminded

to keep God in the center of all their activities. Sports is not

about the winning shot, but about maintaining a good testi­

mony at all times.
