The media are reporting that John Wooden, retired coach of the UCLA Bruins men's basketball team, which won 10 national championships, has passed away, at age 99. Here's the NPR report.
According to a Wooden quotation given in Wikiquote, Wooden believed that talent is God-given. He also believed that success took more than talent.
The Wikipedia article on Wooden tells us that he was a practicing, and believing, Christian, and that he was the first person (and, so far, one of only three) inducted into the basketball Hall of Fame for his accomplishments as a basketball player, and also as a basketball coach.
God rest his soul. Thanks for reading.
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.
