Good day, @bleujay, yes, it is wonderful that the basketball coach chose for himself a wonderful path in God and his life... more precisely, the business he was engaged in was really similar to climbing mountains during jumps to the ring and resting in the valley during landings, and to some extent it is similar to our ups and downs, which everyone goes through, but, everything is not so simple, "to land and jump again", between the fall and the jump there can be a long and painful wandering in the desert, as I said, it is more like a spiral and a mobius strip than a direct vector motion :)
Blessings to you and your loved ones!
