On the Other Hand


...you can really feel good about the Josh Hamilton story.

Here's a guy who seemed destined for stardom, but threw it all away for drugs and a "fast" life-style.

Eventually he got it all together again, and found Christ, and now is a potential triple-crown winner for the Texas Rangers.

This story has been covered extensively as well, but something that came out recently is that he has helped Jeff Allison.

Allison was another highly touted prospect pitcher, who went down similar paths that Josh Hamilton took as far as drugs, alcohol, etc.

Now, apparently thanks to Hamilton, Jeff Allison is back and playing baseball, and doing well.

The Hamilton story in particular reminds me of our sermon yesterday, about the "prodigal son".
