I came to understand the potential damage of “just this once” in my own life when I was in England,playing on my university's varsity basketball team.It was a fantastic experience;I became close friends with everyone on the team.We killed ourselves all season, and our hard work paid off—we made it all the way to the finals of the British equivalent of the NCAA tournament.
But then I learned that the championship game was scheduled to be played on a Sunday.This was a problem.
At age sixteen, I had made a personal commitment to God that I would never play ball on Sunday because it is our Sabbath.So I went to the coach before the tournament finals and explained my situation. He was incredulous.“I don't know what you believe,” he said to me, “but I believe that God will understand.” My teammates were stunned, too. I was the starting center and to make things more difficult,the backup center had dislocated his shoulder in the semifinal game.Every one of the guys on the team came to me and said, “You've got to play. Can't you break the rule, just this one time?”
在英国，我在大学篮球队打球时，开始理解“仅此一次”对我生活的潜在危害。这是一次奇妙的经历；我和每个队员都成了好朋友。整个赛季我们都在拼命，我们的努力得到了回报——我们一路杀进了相当于英国NCAA锦标赛的决赛。
后来得知冠军赛被安排在一个星期天进行时，对我来说是个问题。
十六岁时，我就向上帝发誓，我绝不在星期天打球，因为是安息日。所以我在决赛前去找教练，解释了我的情况。他不相信。“我不知道你相信什么，”他对我说，“但我相信上帝会理解的。”我的队友也惊呆了。我是首发中锋，糟糕的是，替补中锋在半决赛中肩膀脱臼了。每个队友都来找我，对我说，“你必须参加比赛。你能不能打破规则，就这一次？”
