My last couple of years at Baylor I worked at FBC Waco. During the summer I was a day camp counselor and during the school year, a basketball referee and facility manager. Andy and Ben were two others who worked there the most.
While the job in and of itself was fun, the after hours were even better. At closing time, we locked the doors and took care of our end-of-day duties. Then came the important decision: go home and study, or stay and play? We would often give it the obligatory few seconds of debate… then call a couple of friends and head back into the gym.
We would play pick-up games for hours on end. H-O-R-S-E came into play when there were fewer of us. But when we lowered the nets to 8 feet? Then things got really crazy. Some of my favorite memories are playing twenty-one on the short hoop… college kids with competitive fire and monster dunks. It’s amazing none of us ended up in the ER.
Making the most of every opportunity, every moment. The keys to life.
