| God¡¯s Set-Up Man |
|
D: Good morning, Vicki.
V: Good morning, Don.
D: Would you rather be a "set-up man" or a "closer"?
V: What are you talking about?
D: You know. In baseball, the "closer" is the pitcher who finishes the game. The "set-up man" pitches an inning or two before the "closer" joins the game.
V: Well, actually I wouldn't prefer either position, since I do not like baseball that much.
D: In today's Power for Today the author says that "set-up" men usually do not get much "fanfare" or attention.
V: Why is that?
D: Well, it is because they only "set up" or prepare the game for the "closer."
V: So it is the closer who really has the "elite" or special position of honor.
D: Yes. When the game is "on the line," which means that either team could win, that is when the closing pitcher plays a very important role.
V: I think I understand. Today's reading says that John the Baptist was the "set-up man" for Jesus.
D: Right. Even though his life was so short and ended so "abruptly" or quickly, his role was to prepare the world for Jesus.
V: Yet, John played his role very well. We need to give him more praise than we do.
D: You are right. So no matter how long we live, we need to perform the best way we can.
V: And it all starts with today. So have a good one.
D: You too. |
