If you’ve been paying attention to the world of Baseball you know there has been some talk about a bad call an umpire made during yesterdays Detroit Tigers game. Jim Joyce, a veteran umpire, did something today that should make many of us rethink what it means to truly own our mistakes. When I watched the video of Armando Galarraga bringing the Tigers lineup to Joyce who was obviously upset, I couldn’t help but appreciate this mans integrity and honesty in letting the world know that he owns his mistakes. Praise God that the Tigers organization and Armando are being reciprocal and appreciating Joyce’s heartfelt reconciliation. I only pray that we in the church universal would begin modeling what this man modeled for us today. Risky yet true. Of course it starts with those of us who are in leadership, making the occasional bad call. Pastors never make bad calls. Right?
