You watch that Christian basketball coach like a hawk and as much as the bible talks about grace, love and forgiveness, you are searching for a perfect example of faith and have made everyone else responsible for who you are and what you do. But, you left High School so long ago. Now, that the basketball coach missed one jump shot, your faith is in crisis simply because you have not come to realize that it is not a faith of the perfect but a faith of the imperfect in that which is immaculate and perfect. It could be your fault though as he coughed due to a virus he contracted from your spit in his water bottle. You are quite silly and your mascara is running as you see yourself for the first time. Shouldn't he get the same grace as you are entitled to in Jesus? This is presuming a sincere faith of course. It is a faith of acknowledged human shortcoming, of grace and of salvation in what was done by Him(read Mark 1) to give those peace who accept it. His yoke is much easier than your scourging grand parent who used to beat you for not saying grace before you eat your Wheaties. She sowed more hate than love for God though. But, at least with your beatings at the table, you can understand in some sense how Jesus suffered injustice and mistreatment. He is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Google it. Read Ephesians 2:8-9, Isaiah 26 and 1st John 1:9. You are looking for an example but what about yourself? Be your own example. Read Job 31. He came to fulfill the law and the prophets and no matter how many small tvs we may carry some day in the guise of cell phones, watches, glasses or other personal effects, the Lord is watching our minds; that we shall speak in psalms, hymns and spiritual things. Put on a Jesus' team baseball cap with the fish on it. How do you feel? Your mind is the temple. See Psalms 101. Well, I am going to go and watch Batman(the movie), a sci-fi movie or a good western that does not offence my conscience. In Aliens, they run from an emotionally dependent w"""h like alien who just wants to get her dna inside everybody so that she will never feel alone.
