CARDINAL CLASSIC 2013 - BRASUMMER ESL CAMP RESULTS/HEALTHY LIVING
Cardinal Classic Champions
IT ALMOST DIDN’T HAPPEN. The team was anxious as
the snow kept falling. Whiteout conditions had made driving
unsafe and a trip to Michigan impossible. The administration went back and forth, not wanting to cancel the most
anticipated trip of the season, but unwilling to put the team
in harm’s way. Finally, the drivers were called to the office and
we discussed how we would proceed. Four in the morning
was the agreed upon departure time and we went home to
get rest for the trip.
We pulled out at four and started the eight-hour drive to
Berrien Springs, Michigan and the Cardinal Classic Basketball
tournament. It was an uneventful trip and by early afternoon
we had arrived. Before we could even settle in we had to run
to lunch and then run to our campus tour. When that was
done we could finally move into the dorms where we’d be
staying.
and were heading to the championship game for the second
time in two years. But this year was different. This year Kingsway dominated Union Springs Academy from start to finish
and won by double digits to bring Kingsway, and Canada, it’s
first Cardinal Classic: Division Two Championship. Both the
girls’ and guys’ teams carried themselves well, were active in
the spiritual programming and represented Christ on and off
the court in a way that made this coach very proud. n

Then the Basketball started. The guys and girls teams
both played at similar times so since I was coaching the boy’s
I didn’t get to see much of the other games. However in their
first game the guy’s won a close game, lifted by Darnel Bazil’s
7 straight last minute points. The second and third games
were blowouts led by hot shooting from Jared Juodele and a
very strong team defense.
Our fourth game was a nail-biter won by a last minute
Emmanuel Danso-Amofa jumper. We had gone undefeated
TEN TALENTS for Abundant Life
When we read the “Parable of the Talents”, found in Mathew 25:14-30, we
relate it to our spiritual gifts, and what we do or do not do with the gifts that
God has given us. Scripture says each were given talents according to their
ability, and in so doing saw gain, or saw those talents taken away for not being
used to it’s potential. If we relate the TEN TALENTS to the health message, and
break it down into an acronym that maps out the route to health and happiness,
what then if we do not use that which God has given us. We will not reach the
potential God wants for us. Follow the recipe that everyone can make, not just
the chefs and cooking experts out there.
TEN TALENTS= Trust in Divine Power, Exercise, Nutrition, Temperance, Air,
Light, Energizing Water, Nightly Rest, Thankfulness, Service.
Now if we are given these talents and don’t use them, what then? How do
we ever spread the gospel, sharing with people what God has done in our lives,
if we don’t use that which we have been given? The health message is unique,
scriptural and we all would benefit from following it more closely.
The first TEN TALENTS cookbook was published more than 44 years ago,
and was a pioneering work in providing simple & practical recipes for healthful
living. Get your copy at the Eastern Canada ABC and start using your talents
wisely. n
