The Thief on the Cross

Read a short Bible passage from Luke 23

 
 
Today, I was pondering the Bible passage about Jesus on the cross as recorded for us in Luke 23.
 
 

Translator

Learn to understand what he means...

 
 
After attending many table tennis tournaments, you will learn to properly interpret what is said after matches.  For example,
 
If someone says… “I lost in the fifth”  
He means…  “I lost badly in the fifth.” (If it was close, he would have told you the score)
 
If someone says…  “I just couldn’t win the close games.”
He means…  “I lost 3-0.”
 
If someone says…  “I just couldn’t return his serves.”
He means… “I lost 3-0 and wasn’t close in any of the games.”

Advice to Coaches
 
Each year, I write one article directed to coaches.  For my 2018 article, I’m only going to give one piece of advice.  But before I give it, I’m going to build some context. 
 
Most table tennis players believe that there are two types of coaches – type A and type B.  It is true, that 99% of the coaches that I personally have met fall roughly into one of these categories.  Today, I’m going to present type C.
