Subject: [RR] Second Part of the Question


> Hey Gang,
> Now you have had time to think about the situation I spoke about a few
days ago, here is
> what I did and the reason why I posed that question.
>
> My first reaction was to tell the coach where to go (in no uncertain
terms). The referees
> back would have backed me up, but I tended to the causality. The coach
continued to make
> demands that she be moved. After 5 minutes I had had enough of this guy.
So I grab my
> folder where I record all the people I treat (I have to do this as a First
Aider on a
> Duty). I asked the coach if he was willing to sign one of the forms saying
he was
> refusing treatment for this girl. He said as long as it will get her off
the court he'd
> sign anything. To that I replied, "Right, Sue (not her real name) you can
now sue this
> idiot for every cent he's got. Now will you sign?" he looked dumbfounded.
The Organisers
> can down and kicked the coach out of the complex.
>
> He is now threatening to write a letter of complaint to the Commissioner
of St John's
> about my conduct. I have no worries about this as I did everything by the
book and St.
> John's hierarchy will support me in this.
>
> Now, sometimes we are like this coach. We see someone who is "stopping the
game" of Royal
> Rangers and we want them moved out of the way. But remember Jesus died for
that children
> and he is precious in his sight. "Jesus said, "Let the little children
come to me, and do
> not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.""
(Mat 19:14). In
> each situation we have a choice to be like the coach or to get down and
get "dirty" with
> the child. This means loving the unlovable, helping those you don't want
to help, be a
> friend and sometimes father to the unfriended. In others words, being
Jesus for that
> child.
>
> Post Script.
> I found out last night that the coach had rang the Commissioner of St.
John's to
> complain. Mrs Purdy rang my Regional Duty Officer who rang me and told him
what I did. He
> said I did the right thing and they were backing me. They have now
demanded that the
> coach apoligse to me and the girl.
>
>
> There's a storm coming, our Storm.
>   PROCLAIMING GOD'S LOVE TO A DYING WORLD
>   Say to the captives, 'come out,' and those in darkness, 'Be free!'
>   Isaiah 49:9
>   I looked to the heavens to where God dwells
>   I looked into my life to see he lives there as well.
>   Love in Jesus
