I will never forget the morning I was playing 3-on-3 basketball with Pete Maravich in Pasadena, California. It was the morning he would die from a massive heart attack. How well I remember Dr. James Dobson and myself trading back and forth in our attempts at mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. What seemed like an eternity, a half-hour later the ambulance finally arrived. During that period there was no response at all—no sign of life in Pete whatsoever. The autopsy would later
reveal that one of the all-time greatest basketball players was dead the moment he hit the floor, incapable of benefitting from our futile attempts, incapable of responding to any stimulus, incapable of any ability of his own to respond. That chilling, stark memory will forever remain etched in my mind. It serves as a poignant picture of this week’s Scripture passages I would like to study with you.
