To Whom Much Is Given
Welcome to Coach Kyle Elmendorf's blog. Thank you reading, comments and feedback are greatly appreciated!
“To whom much is given, much is expected.” This verse comes from Luke 12:48. Last week I came across one of the greatest speeches I have ever heard an athlete make. It was made by Michigan State Quarterback Kirk Cousins at the 2011 Big Ten Media Day. Luke 12:48 was the crux of his message and it, along with Kirk’s speech, is this week’s motivation for the post.
I am privileged. If you are reading this and have access to clean water throughout the day, you too are privileged. The problem with us is too often we believe that being privileged brings entitlement. Our country, and the rest of the world, face so many problems right now. I believe many of them can be traced back to this: we have developed a deeply embedded sense of entitlement. We live in a world where much is expected, but not much is given. It should be complete opposite.
