- There'll be one winner,one loser in this.
- Yes.
- Everybody goes back to work on Monday.
How do you cope with keepingthings in perspective?
- I mean having that heavenlyperspective really helps me
keep things in perspectiveand where they should be.
Like, yeah I'm playing in this game
that is the pinnacle of my,
you know athletic career
and it's supposed to be everything to me.
But in the grand schemeof thing scheme of things,
it's still a game.
- You know I thinkabout, when Jesus Christ,
he didn't perform any miraclesor anything like that.
And God said, this is my sonwith whom I well pleased.
And so I live in that, and I rest in that,
because I know that'swhat he thinks about me.
And he's given me agift to play this game.
So he's done that for a reason,to play it at a high level
to be able to give him glory.
- You know, there's so many opportunities
in the bible where disciples and people
maybe haven't finishedthe race how they wanted,
but God still used them in mighty ways.
So I think just finishing strong
and just using this to glorify God
and the work that he's done in my life
and where he's brought me from to now.
It's just been a crazy ride
and I'm just humbledand honored to be here.
- What is your advice to those
that walk away from a game of hype,
back into the reality of livingand keeping a perspective?
- This is not life and death.
This is not the biggestthing that we'll do.
The biggest and most important decision
we'll ever make in our lives,
is what we do with theknowledge of Jesus Christ.
And if you don't know theanswer to that question,
it could be challenging at times.
But, I think for people that look
at this game as the end all be all,
it's not, it's a game.
We're thankful to be here.
We're thankful for our opportunity.
We love what we do.
But we have to keep perspectiveon the greater good.
