Play In Pain
June 19, 2013
Baseball Hall-of-Fame catcher Gary Carter was a follower of Jesus. During his 19-year career, he drew strength and endurance from his faith in God to compete day after day. In an article that appeared in the Wall Street Journal shortly after Carter died of brain cancer at age 57, writer Andrew Klavan told how Carter had influenced his life.
In the late 1980s, Klavan had sunk to a low point in his life. His mind dwelt on suicide. Then he heard Carter interviewed after a game. His team, the New York Mets, had won, and the aging catcher had helped by running hard at a critical point in the game. Carter was asked how he could do that with his aching knees. Klavan heard him say something like this: Sometimes you just have to play in pain. That simple statement helped draw Klavan out of his depression. I can do that! he declared. Encouraged, he found hopeand later became a believer in Christ.
The comforting truth behind Carters statement comes from Lamentations. We may face sorrow, pain, and hardship, but we dont have to sink into self-pity. The same God who allows our suffering also showers us with His compassion (Lam. 3:32). With Gods love lifting us up, we canif we have toplay in pain.
Along lifes pathway troubles come
That God will help us bear;
Then we can look beyond the pain
To those who need our care. Branon
God will either spare you from suffering or give you the grace to bear it.
Read: Lamentations 3:1-3, 25-33

According to the quiz, I speak General American. Here are some additional characteristics of my speach:
- Water flows from a faucet, not a spigot
- "caught" and "cot" are pronounced the same
- "Minnie," "Mini" and "Many" are pronounced the same, and they rhyme with "Any."
- "Anti-"--as in "Anti-virus"--rhymes with "Can't I"
- There is no cow in Moscow
- A warning over the radio or TV of a traffic jam is called a SigAlert--a term, unknown east of the Cajon Pass, which was coined in the 1950's by a TV newsman named Lloyd Sigmund
- A dry wind from the east is called a Santa Ana wind. Just over the hill to the west in Ventura County, it is simply called an east wind.

G’day, Janey...((HUGS))...for sure you are still American, even if you talk Aussie.
