One night, a Dodgers farm club coached by Tommy Lasorda was leading Tucson by one run in the eighth inning, but Tucson had the bases loaded with two outs. According to Don Martin in TEAM THINK (Penguin books, Ltd., 1993), Lasorda decided to pep up his pitcher, a left-hander named Bobby O’Brien. Lasorda slowly walked out to the mound and said, “Bobby, if the heavens opened up right now and you could hear the voice of the Big Dodger in the sky and he said to you, ‘Bobby, you’re going to die and come up to heaven, and this is the last batter you’re ever going to face,’ how would you like the meet the Lord, getting this man out or letting him get a hit from you?”

“I’d want to face him getting this guy out,” O’Brien replied. Read more

The man looked a little worried when the doctor came in to administer his annual physical, so the first thing the doctor did was to ask whether anything was troubling him.

“Well, to tell the truth, Doc, yes,” answered the patient. “You see, I seem to be getting forgetful. No, it’s actually worse than that. I can never remember where I park my car, where I’m going, or what it is I’m going to do once I get there — if I get there. So, I really need your help. What can I do?” Read more

“Friendly fire,” or fratricide, is a military term used when troops of one nation accidentally kill their own. Fratricide has tragically become a battlefield fact of life. David Foster in “Light and Life” (July 2, 1994), tells us George Washington reported that during the French and Indian War, 400 casualties resulted from soldiers who panicked and sent volley after volley into their own ranks.

His own soldiers killed Stonewall Jackson, Confederate general during the American Civil War, in 1863 as he galloped back into southern lines. Read more

Steve Goodier Wisdom: Powerful Hope

In this inspirational article, master storyteller, Steve Goodier, shares a key piece of life wisdom . Enjoy!

Jean Kerr said, “Hope is the feeling you have, that the feeling you have, isn’t permanent.” It is what we have when we know that we WILL eventually survive the night and bask in sunshine once again. It does not deny the present darkness, but it reminds us that dawn is coming.

Brigadier General Robinson Risner (”Robbie”) spent seven years as a POW at the “Hanoi Hilton,” as prisoners of war called their North Viet Nam compound. There he discovered the power of hope. He spent four and a half years of that time in isolation. He endured ten months of total darkness. Those ten months were the longest of his life. When they boarded up his little seven-by-seven foot cell, shutting out the light, he wondered if he was going to make it. He had already been under intense physical and mental duress after years of confinement. And now, not a glimmer of light shone into his cell — or into his soul. Read more
