October 25
Mario learned to play soccer as a boy in Italy. He coached my sons in beginning soccer, stressing the fundamentals and teamwork. During a scoreless game there was a break away. My Robbie (10) was back, his brother Steve (9) was goalie. They met the threat, legs went every which way and Robbie kicked the ball right past Steve into his own goal.
The booming voice of Coach Mario rose above the groans, "It's OK Robbie, even the great Pele' scored against himself.” He was God's grace to my young boys that day.
"Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God." (Mark 10:14)
