I’ve come up with a “belief statement” in the spirit of Crash Davis in the movie “Bull Durham” (see my August 29 post). Thanks Crash (and Ron Shelton who created this character) for the inspiration!
Here it is:
I believe in the incredible potential of the human spirit, the vast underappreciated beauty of the earth, my wife’s smile and the love that radiates from it, long hugs and soft kisses, honesty and courage, incurable optimism, “swishing” 25-footers, movies that make me laugh and cry at the human condition, the Green Bay Packers, a fine hot grande latte, the warmness of friendship, vanilla ice cream, Elton & Bernie, common courtesy, melodies I can’t get out of my head, quad aces, Mom & Dad & my two sisters, servant leadership, government above hypocrisy, titanium drivers, deep cleansing breaths, and God and the Golden Rule.

Now you’re talking. With a few modifications, this could be all of us. But I think that is the point, our commonality. Good job.
Thanks Larry. We’re all “connected”, but still unique. Maybe not as unique as Crash Davis though
All the best.
What Larry said.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Steve for stopping by – I really enjoyed coming up with this, but Larry’s right, I wasn’t going to get into Crash’s territory! All the best.
I know it has been a while since you wrote this but today it goes just as well. Great work. God and the golden rule are awesome.
