	Hello to you all. Thank you for supporting The Woods Forum-JerkyHill. You are tirelessly faithful to causes to which you are committed. I hope you will find inspiration from this article from Tom Moore, Temple, TX. By 1989, baseball player Nolan Ryan reached an incredible 5,000 strikeouts, and all those no hitters. Ryan is a phenomenal baseball player. In his rookie year, 18 years earlier, Gil Hodges was the manager of the Mets, and was impatient with Ryan. Although Ryan could consistently throw the ball over ninety miles an hour, most of the time it didn't go over the plate. He was walking everybody, hitting a lot of people, too. Hodges told Ryan at the beginning of a particular game that he was to pitch better in that game or he would pull him out and trade him. He would be finished. Ryan went into that game trying to do his best, determined that he was going to succeed. He was miserable. He walked something like seven or eight batters in four innings. Hodges took him out. Later that season he was traded to the Angels. After the game Richard Reeves went down into the locker room to interview the players. He noticed Nolan Ryan was apart from the others, looking into a mirror, obviously having difficulty tying his tie. Reeves got closer to him and noticed that there were tears in his eyes. He was crying. He couldn't see to tie his tie because of the tears. Reeves remembered that incident on the occasion of celebrating Nolan Ryan as one of the immortals of baseball. He remembered that this legendary man, Nolan Ryan, BEGAN his long string of success thinking he had failed. But he kept on working. He kept on practicing. He kept on doing his job. In like manner, a Christian’s life will be filled with failures and disappointments. Many Christians have “thrown up their hands” in disgust and have quit the Christian race – thinking they have failed. But friends, we must be persistent! “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord” [1 Cor. 15:58]. When failure and disappointments come our way, we need to remember the words of our Lord’s brother, “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing” (Jam. 1:2-4). Beloved don’t give – don’t ever give up. Remember, the word of the apostle Paul, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Phil. 4:13). “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” [2 Tim. 4:6-8].

	Hi Sharon, Thanks for bringing this message from Mike. Hi Mike, It's wonderful to see you back. I've been missing your messages. Always Inspiring and Motivating. These particular words touch very close to my heart, especially after a day such as today, which has been difficult to say the least. You seem to know just what to say and when to say it. Some might say that this is merely chance, however, we know that we need but ask and He will provide the Inspiration and Lead us on the way to speak to those in need. In the same manner, when we face trying times, we need but ask, and He will see us through, according to His will, just as He has promised... "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28 (KJV) He never says that it will be easy, but He will be there with us every step of the way. Have a Blessed & Beautiful Day, Phil
