We were "up on the roof" again early this morning for Coach Filipek's Bible study based on Hebrews 12:1-11. Among other things, Coach asked the groups to come up with definitions for "discipline"; a sampling of their responses:
1. Maturity, discernment to do what is right in a given situation;
2. Setting boundaries (that you've determined not to cross);
3. An authority figure teaching and correcting out of love;
4. Effectively correcting one's behavior by means of physical punishment or verbal rebuking;
5. Having self-control to do what you are told or expected to do.
Not bad for a bunch of teenagers before breakfast!
Coach emphasized the relationship between being "disciples" and the ways we are disciplined by our Heavenly Father... great stuff!!

Hi Greg,
Looks like there were all sorts of good things going on besides, strictly speaking, baseball. Good stuff! Thanks for the "lift.".
