If you think you've ever made a mistake, imagine making a mistake so big that your whole life's legacy will forever be tied to that mistake. How do you live with yourself? How do you stay positive? How do you find meaning in such moments? Meet Jim Joyce…
We all make mistakes in our lives but the point is to accept them with grace, learn from them and turn the page to something better! God gives us those moments to learn something but whether we choose to learn or not is in our hands!
(In case you want some more back story, here is an article on what had actually happened in the baseball game. And for those of you who know very little about baseball, a perfect game is the highest performance a pitcher could ever have. It's hard to describe how difficult it is to achieve...)
It is also worth tipping our hat to one amazing sportsman Armando Galarraga. He was the one who was denied such a big achievement. But in his attitude and forgiveness, I think he achieved something no other sportsman has achieved. http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2010/12/31/armando-galarraga-jim-joyce-achieve-much-more-after-near-perfec/
