Practice Makes Perfect

Posted on 21 February 2008 by Gina

The first time I swung a golf club, it was pretty comical.

It’s still somewhat amusing, but I have improved with practice

My inaugural attempt at Mother’s Day breakfast biscuits didn’t go as planned.

(There’s a difference between Baking Soda and Baking Powder)

But after several tries, I can make some pretty amazing biscuits.

Me behind the wheel at 16 years old was terrifying.

Yet after 20+ years of driving… its only slightly unnerving.

What’s the point?

You have to do something more than once to get better at it.

Does repetition make it perfect? (as the adage implies)

Well, maybe not perfect. But certainly improved.

So… if your random, in-the-car-on-the-way-to-WalMart, spiritual conversation about, “Who’s stronger, Superman or God?” didn’t go so well… don’t give up.

If your first attempt to pray as a family resulted in more laughing than praying… don’t give up.

If your initial venture for a Family Night was less than spectacular… don’t give up.

Practice makes it better. Repetition works.

Follow your Family Night Flop with another Family Night Flop.

Lead your family from one laughter-filled prayer to the next laughter-filled prayer.

I promise the next random, in-the-car-on-the-way-to-WalMart, spiritual conversation about, “Who’s stronger, Superman or God?”… will go much better.

Believe it or not, there was a time when Tiger Woods sucked at golf. :)

    now all you need is some chocolate gravy like my grandma used to make to go on those biscuts. UM UM GOOD
    We have those debates over “is God bigger than a whale…etc” with Cade. Always fun

    So at what point does the debate change from Superman or God to Me or God?

    One of my friends always says “Practice doesn’t make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.”

    Tiger Woods once sucked at golf. Never thought of it that way. Thank you.
