Hit or Miss

Whether you consider yourself to be a sports enthusiast or a mere novice, you may find the next few reading moments helpful. 

Steve Nash has the best free throw percentage in the NBA.
Ben Wallace has the worst free throw percentage in the NBA.

Just in case,

In basketball, free throws or foul shots are unopposed attempts to score points from a restricted area on the court (the free throw line), and are generally awarded after a foul on the shooter by the opposing team. Each successful free throw is worth one point.

Both these men do share a common statistic, better than a personal high or record low stat. 

During their tenure in the NBA, whether they hit a shot or missed a shot, they ALWAYS received a high five or fist bump from their teammates on the floor. A ritual that is still practiced and protected today.

Encouragement is not predicated on performance - that's what the bench is for. When we choose to encourage someone, we give our confidence, support and help to them. The writer of Hebrews said, "Encourage each other daily, while it is called today!"

"I can live for two months on a good compliment." - Mark Twain

Sometimes the crowds (in life) will say nasty things, cheer when you fail and silently pray you choke under the pressure of life's moment. 

Sometimes the crowds (in life) will wave free things that cost them nothing to distract you from doing the thing that cost you everything! Be that as it may, 

I want to be an extravagant encourager.

I want to do life with extravagant encouragers.

I want the world to meet the most extravagant encourager of all: Jesus, who loves faithfully, hit or miss!
