He soars over the rim and jams it home! Boom! Move over Shack. Get out of town LeBron. Aaron is going to school you. He is a good 2 feet over the rim - and still less than 6 foot tall. No more retirement worries for me, baby. NBA by the time he is 18. Yeah! It is Hummer time.
And yet and alas. Someone told me it does not count if the rim is only set at 7.5 feet. Even Keith Gaesser could dunk at that height. But, just looking at the picture from here, it sure looks like he is flying.
It is all about the appearance. People say that pastoring is not dangerous. I work with wonderful people, spend a lot of time in a church building, and am surrounded by great books. The most precarious part of my day is the walk/drive to and from the building. But, there are dangers not so obvious and I am not talking about germs. I am talking about seeming to soar over the rim when it is only set at 7.5 feet. I am talking about keeping up appearances and maintaining perceptions. Talking about praying but not praying. Talking about holiness wihtout being holy. Talking about God without bothering to getting to know Him.
And, the Lord shows such grace and patience. He brings people and circumstances into my life to bring me back to the reality. He is faithful!
In the mean time, Aaron will keep jamming it home at 7.5 feet. And, he is still growing. Maybe, just maybe!
