Kobe Bryant is a legend in the game of basketball. His accomplishments will be forever linked when he is accepted into the Hall of Fame. He influenced millions and his legacy will continue to influence for years to come. Young kids seen him as a mentor. Others would visualize themselves being like him. He was known as a legend to many, but to his kids he was known as dad. To his wife he was known as husband. 

One of Kobe’s quotes was, I’ll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it’s sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot. In life we should live the same way.

If I am on defense. I am for others taking there shot and winning in their game.

Sing like no one is listening, love like you’ve never been hurt, dance like nobody’s watching, and live like it’s heaven on earth. You only live once, but if you do it right once is enough. On a tombstone there are two dates, and what really matters is the dash in the middle. What are you doing with your life? Live for Jesus. Live on purpose. Live with grace. Quick to forgive. Quick to love. Quick to give.
