I recently read an article on ESPN, which was written about Josh Hamilton and his struggle to get back to baseball. Josh was drafted as the number one pick in the 2003 amateur draft. He signed with the Tampa Bay Rays and was one of the promising young players in the game. He eventually fell under the influence of drugs and alcohol. It wasn't until he accepted God into his life did he begin to turn things around. He claims that his relationship with God and his family are the reasons as to why he has changed. He attributes his turn around to those two things along and without them, he wouldn't have been able to get back to playing professional baseball. While in rehabilition, he came to a realization. He began to accept God and finally believe in something. He had lacked stability in his life. He was given the world as an 18 year old kid with so much potential. He took advantage of everything and it wasn't until everything was gone did he finally become the person he wanted to be.
