Never Give Up (from David)

Those who know me, know that I'm a hockey fan. Specifically, a Carolina Hurricanes fan. If you follow hockey at all you know that our Canes currently hold the unenviable position of being dead last in the league. They have lost 15 of the last 16 games, 14 of those were in a row, tieing a team record.

Now there are many things they could blame this streak on, but basically it comes down to the fact that they score less than their opponents.

But you know what. The Canes' coaches and players show up for every game. You can't win if you don't show up. They get on the ice, skate and shoot to win. They aren't hiding in the locker room or blaming each other. They are practicing and training. Will they win again? Probably. They are a good set of players working to build a successful team. Just showing up is the start.

For recovery we have to do the same thing. We have to show up and practice and train. We're not always going to win each "game" but we can improve and make it a contest worth watching.

God bless,
David
