Speedy Morris
Speedy Morris was a basketball coach for LaSalle University. He was shaving one day when his wife called out to tell him he was wanted on the phone by Sports Illustrated. Speedy Morris was so excited by the prospect of national recognition that he nicked himself with his razor and ran –with a mixture of blood and lather on his face—down the hall promptly falling down the stairs. Limping and in some physical distress he finally got to the phone and the voice on the other line said: “For just seventy five cents an issue you can get a one year trial subscription….”
Like Speedy, we can also RUSH ahead in life. The result is often nicks, cuts, and bruises along the way. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve scraped my knee as a leader. We will not get it right every single time. However, if we are patient take time to seek God’s direction, the bruises don’t happen as often! The next time you are faced with a decision, take time to seek God through prayer, seek God’s Word, and seek wise counsel. You will be surprised at what can happen if you don’t RUSH ahead!
