The Home Run King.
756. Quite an accomplishment. Regardless of what one may believe due to all the rumors of probable steroid usage, you have to tip your hat to Barry Bonds. He is finally the home run king.
Although I am not a major baseball fan, out of curiosity I looked up to see what place the San Francisco Giants are in right now. Ready for this? Tied for 2nd to last place (in all of baseball). I thought that was quite interesting. Despite the accomplishments of arguably one of the greatest preachers hitters in baseball, his church team is doing horribly.
I bought a book a while back entitled…
The 12 Bad Habits That Hold Good People Back…
It describes one bad habit that many business (and ministry leaders) seem to have…we’re always swinging for the fence. Sure. It sounds alright. Makes for good television. But the truth is…it doesn’t convert to many wins.
Just individual accomplishments. This past July, The Church Report published their annual listing of America’s 50 Most Influential Churches. You’d be surprised to see how many of the churches who rank the highest are led by individuals you don’t hear much about.
No fan fare. No major t.v. coverage. No records broke. Just results. Wins.
You have to admit: it must be tough being Barry.
But you know what’s tougher? Being the Giants.
