The Math of Mercy
Paul is on a roll in Romans 8. He's adding up all the things that can separate you from the love of God in Jesus Christ.
And the total? Nothing, zilch, zero. Not death, not life, not anything in all this vast creation where good and evil coexist.
This is the math of mercy. God's nothing.
But still we continue the list.
•What about my deepest, darkest, most shameful act?
•What about the years I spat in heaven's face?
•What about the terrible things I've done to other people?
•What about all the ways I've led others into iniquity?
•What about this, what about that?
Write your list. Use up every drop of ink, cover every sheet of paper, go on and on and on with the innumerable screw-ups in your life.
When you've finally finished that exhaustive list of all the things that you think can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus, add them all up. Take that number and multiply it times God's zero.
All your sins x God's zero = zero.
This is the math of mercy. God's nothing. Your everything in Jesus Christ, who is bigger than your sin, more loving than your hate, more faithful than your infidelity.
Christianity has far too many voices that would have us believe in a God who doesn’t wound us. But God himself declares otherwise: “See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god beside me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal,” (Deut. 32:39).
God knows that it is only in our weakness and woundedness that we simultaneously discover our own ineptitude and his healing power. Without wounds we foster an image of ourselves as strong and healthy.
But the hands that wound us—they themselves bear the stigmata of grace. Our Savior kills, but only to make alive; wounds, but only to heal. He is conforming us to his cruciform likeness so that we see ourselves exclusively in his resurrection reflection.
This is Christian growth: to become in our weakness more and more dependent on his strength, to seek in our woundedness more and more of his healing.
Closeouts are tough. Practice them daily, with energy…
“Be Active”
☝🏽: Active mouth 🗣 - Identify 🏀
✌🏽: Active feet 👣 - Contain drive
👌🏽: Active hands ✋🏽- Slowdown shot
Talking, high fives, fist bumps, sprinting to help your teammate off the floor, pointing to them after a good pass, positive involvement from the bench. This is what great programs are built on! Uplift teammates & be an energy giver to your team! It equals TEAM & PROGRAM success!
Every player should have this in their game 🏀👇
One of my favorite dribble stop options:
Speed stop (1-2 stop) with an exchange behind the back
Once you go behind the back you can replace your feet and shoot or get into your “drop” stance and have all your options!
I spent the last 6 months watching every catch and shoot from the NBA last season (>33k shots).
Only TWELVE shots were kept above the chest from catch to shoot for a quick release.
TWELVE!!!!
TLDR;
Dipping the basketball won’t leave you more susceptible to getting blocked.
The first two things I talk when when discussing shot fakes:
1. Feet under hips
2. Eyes to the rim
We haven’t even talked about the ball yet. Because Sophie looks like she can shoot it, her defender flies at her.
Most focus on ball movement 1st. Feet & eyes should be 1st.
