For some reason I thought of this story. I am 12 years old. We just bought a basketball goal. I had never had one before, and I thought it was the coolest thing.
I went out to play on it all the time. Then it got cold. Winter. No one warned me about what can happen to your fingers in the cold. I played for hours. Day after day. I noticed the tips of my fingers getting sore, but I didn't think that much about it because I had never had this problem before. But after prolonged play in very cold weather, all ten of my finger tips cracked. The picture here does not do the situation justice. They were really dry and cracked and painful. All ten of them!
Painful, bloody, cracks. It took weeks for them to heal. I have never done that since. I guess that is one benefit of really making a painful mistake, we rarely repeat them.
So if you have done something that hurt yourself, take heart, at least we probably won't do that again for a long time.It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Superglue does wonders for the bball cracks. I got them every time we used the rubber and not leather basketball.
The cracks were ALWAYS worth it!
And now we know the rest of the story about how sports injuries kept Jeff from ever making the NBA.
