Remembering John Wooden

With the Passing of John Wooden at age 99 recently, I reviewed some of his amazing accomplishments.  The experts say that records are made to be broken, but many of the records that are next to John Wooden's name will likely never be matched.  I have often wondered if he were a Christian man, because I have not seen specific, detailed articles about his faith in God, although his coaching principles extend from biblical teaching. Below is a list of seven standards to live by, which have been commonly called John Wooden's Seven Point Creed.  I have added some bible verses as references, which pertain to some of the items in the list.  Coach Wooden received this creed from his father upon graduation from grammar school:  Be true to yourself. Make each day your masterpiece. Help others. (Hebrews 13:16) Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible. (Psalm 119:105) Make friendship a fine art. (John 15:13) Build a shelter against a rainy day. Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day. (James 1:5)
