The Daily Ricky

Have you ever been embarrassed before? Well, I have and I would like to share it with you.

I was 14, a manager for the basketball team. We were traveling by bus one night to an away game My Dad had decided to get drunk before I left, he shouted out as I was leaving, I’m going to that game!

The team was doing good. It looked like they might go to state.

When we got there, we headed straight to the locker room and the boys started suiting up. I’ll never forget it, it was during the 3rd quarter.

My Dad showed up drunk and everyone saw him. The police had to escort him outside, because he was causing a disturbance

The rest of my school days, I carried the image of my Dad that night.

There are some of you that have your moment and it’s still balled up on the inside.

As long as you allow it to fester it will. Jesus said, Come ALL who are heavy laden and I will give you rest.

We all have stuff we carry inside, we need to learn to lay it at His feet.

Lord take all we have that effect us and allow Your blood to cover them all, we need You Jesus. Amen!!!
