Swoosh Moments

Diocesan Youth Rally

When I was little I loved playing basketball.  As I grew I moved from a little foam basketball to a little heavy basketball to a women’s basketball to a men’s basketball, from granny shots to real shots; then, one day, I finally realized what it felt like to make the perfect shot – you may as well turn around and start heading down the court because as soon as it leaves your hand you know it’s going to be a swoosh!  That swoosh experience, that feeling of everything working exactly how it’s supposed to (no matter what the sport or activity)…you know what that feels like!  “That’s exactly how it’s supposed to be!” we say to ourselves.  Now what if you could say that about life?  What if you could get to the end of a day and say, “That’s exactly how life’s supposed to be!”  With the Lord…you can!
