Kids baseball team kicked out of league for being too good - Columbus Dispatch

No one misbehaved. No one broke any rules.

But after only a few games, the Columbus Stars have been kicked out of a recreational youth baseball league in Canal Winchester.

• What are your thoughts on how this team was handled? Do you feel like the team was wronged for being forced out of the league? Or do you think the team was doing more damage than good and should have been removed?
  
  

• What would you do if you were on an opposing team and you knew you were going to be facing the Stars at your next game? How do you handle "giants" in your life? If something seems completely unattainable do you back away and not even try? Explain.
  
  
• How would this scenario play out in other facets of life (i.e. employment, education, hobbies, family…)?
  
  
• Use the verses below to learn more about the character traits of endurance and courage. Find ways to apply them to situations you may be in right now or in the future where you find yourself out of your league.
  
  Endurance - gained by going through trials James 1:2-3; Romans 5:3-4.
  
  Courage - being bold changes people's perspective of you Acts 4:13. Moses (learning from his lack of courage at the beginning of him ministry) encourages Joshua at his inauguration to have courage Deuteronomy 31:7, 8, 23. We are to encourage those who are timid around us 1 Thessalonians 5:14.
  Use the Bible study tool on the right to help you find more verses for these character traits.

Raising Kids Who Turn Out Right

Every parent hopes their kids will turn out right. They pray that when their children leave the nest, they will be ready to face the world. And they hope that their kids will be equipped to stand strong in life's battles.

How do you define success for your child? “Graduates from a prestigious college.” “Nabs a high-paying job.” “Settles down with a nice family.” Sounds good. But what if you got it all wrong?

What about greatness? Where does it fit in? “If you aim your children at anything less than greatness, you’ll set them up to miss the whole point of their lives,” says author Tim Kimmel. In Raising Kids for True Greatness, Kimmel turns the definition of success on its head and guides you in preparing your child for a life that will easily eclipse the goals of those who are merely successful.
