Bruce Springsteen sang a song called "Glory Days" in which he described the longing of several of his friends to return to days gone by. He sings of a former star high school athlete wishing for a return to his exciting, glamorous days of stardom.
I had a friend was a big baseball player,
back in high school
He could throw that speed ball by you,
make you look like a fool, boy
Saw him the other night ...
I was walkin' in, he was walkin' out
We went back inside ...
but all he kept talkin' about—Glory Days...
The instances of athletes enduring in stardom for an entire career are really the exception, not the rule. Many a former big-play-maker is sitting around today wondering, like the character in Springsteen’s song, where the "glory days" went.
Are WE doing the work God has called us to do TODAY? … or, are we simply sitting around longing for the "glory days" of yesterday to return?
