Great memories

What is success?  is it a no-hitterhttp://www.usnews.com/news/sports/articles/2014/06/19/kershaw-throws-no-hitter-dodgers-rout-rockies-8-0 which is defined a not quite a perfect game.  I would say close enough for those of us who would never be able to strike out even one batter.  

Would an event as this be emblematic of the Hebrews 12.  We witnessed the cumulation of the results of years of practice and probably many home runs by this pitcher.  yet we would have encouraged him to keep on.  Do we do this with our friends and loved ones ?  just a thought.
