Basketball practice was a challenge by the coach to turn half-hearted players into whole hearted players. My coach would not be happy unless we had floor burns on our knees. My coach placed a bucket on each end of the court for players to throw up in. We would run until we threw up, drink water and

I was hungry
and you formed a humanities club
and you discussed my hunger.
Thank you.
I was imprisoned
and you crept off quietly

I was sick
and you knelt and

How was Carey obedient to the words of Jesus?
