The winning thought

Russell Gordon

Ever since I can remember I wanted to play all kinds of sports. Camps, Little League, and other such activities were great in helping me learn to develop my skills in playing. There is a real satisfaction for me in doing well in all sports. I prayed daily to know God protected and supplied me spiritually with the qualities of goodwill, sportsmanship, and intelligence.

Finally the day came when I was accepted on the high school football team—my dream come true. Every game was a new experience, win or lose. However, most of the time we did lose. After the season I thought, "Wait till next year." I prayed to express the highest standard of performance, not just to win.
