I mentioned it again this weekend: The direction your feet are pointed matters. One decision at a time, one day at at time, a lifetime of steps has consequences. Decide in advance to methodically discipline your life and you're likely to make progress in the direction you choose.
My young friend, Braxston Cave, grew up at GCC and heard me ask the question many times: Which direction are your feet pointed?
Braxston plays football for the University of Notre Dame and is on ESPN's Outland Trophy Watch List for 2012.
Cody Baker, a brilliant videographer at GCC, produced this video so we could use it in our weekend services. Give yourself a couple of minutes to watch it. It's a strong reminder that methodical discipline produces results; small steps taken in one direction, over a long period of time, have predictable consequences.
Which direction are your feet pointed?

Psalm 119:1-8
You’re blessed when you stay on course,
walking steadily on the road revealed by God.
You’re blessed when you follow his directions,
doing your best to find him.
That’s right—you don’t go off on your own;
you walk straight along the road he set.
You, God, prescribed the right way to live;
now you expect us to live it.
Oh, that my steps might be steady,
keeping to the course you set;
Then I’d never have any regrets
in comparing my life with your counsel.
I thank you for speaking straight from your heart;
I learn the pattern of your righteous ways.
I’m going to do what you tell me to do.
My Friend posted this message on my Facebook Page. I found it very interesting for one my football number was #39 in High School and I played Fullback. In College ( Wager Colloge ) I was changed to Center and # 52. I turned 50 this last year and have survived a Heart Attack. Sudden Death Cardiac Arrest 1% club now and just Finished Treatment for Mouth Cancer. I'm a very Blessed man for all the Mercy God has shown me. I'm sorry sometimes that I did not know which way my feet were pointed. I Do now and put all my trust in God and follow where he leads me. I enjoyed the video of Braxston Cave and would like to visit with him sometime after football season. God Bless Stephen S Slocum.

Wow! This is inspiring. May Braxton's feet always be pointed the right direction and may he inspire people toward Christ throughout his entire life.

My friend was also football player in college and he was the captain of the team but last year he faced a sudden cardiac arrest in the ground while playing and his life is not saved because immediate defibrillation was not given and we lost him. New defibrillators are used these days that are not visible and they have standard leads used which were not in traditional defibrillators device. These defibrillators are implanted under the arm of the patient. This new defibrillator is safe to use and is suited for those also who cannot use traditional ICD due to risks.
