Welcome to Follow Him Favorites. This is where John and I share a single story to go with each week's Come Follow Me lesson. John, Joseph of Egypt, Genesis chapter 37 through 41. It's your turn to give us a follow him favorites story.

0:18.1

I remember this interesting phrase in the story of Joseph when Potipher's wife grabbed him.

0:24.8

This is Genesis 39-12. She caught him by his garment saying lie with me and he left his garment

0:29.7

in her hand and fled and got him out. Remember that phrase, got him out. Now rewind way back to the 20th century, probably the 70s.

I am playing Little League baseball at Lindsay Gardens in Salt Lake City, and I'm a center fielder.

0:48.5

And my coach used to, because we're like, I don't know, eight or nine or ten. He used to come out and yell at us,

think. He would just yell think. Our job was to say something that wouldn't occur to us was,

1:02.8

what will I do if the ball comes to me? This is a great skill. Yes. In Little League, I actually did. I thought,

1:29.0

there's a runner on first. There's one out. If the ball is on the fly, I'll try to catch it. I'll throw it a second base. If it's a grounder, I'll catch it. I'll probably watch the runner throw it to second or third. I've got it all figured out. Our pitcher winds up, throws the ball, and the batter smacks it, and it's right to me in the center field. But it was a little short. I'm running forward, and out of the

1:35.5

corner of my eye, I can see the runner taken off first base. And I thought, he doesn't think I'm

1:41.2

going to catch it because you got to tag up. You got to stay on first until the ball is caught.

1:46.2

He's running to second.

1:47.8

I run up and I caught the ball and I winged it to the second basement.

1:53.0

Who got the guy out?

1:54.6

I got him out.

1:56.8

Nice job.

1:58.4

I remember coach Mark Duran running out of the dugout screaming,

2:04.5

nice job, by the way. What a great lesson that was to think first what you're going to do

2:12.6

if something comes up. Because of that, I knew exactly what to do. That was like my only glory moment of

2:19.8

Little League Baseball. Hey, people don't know. John, by the way, is quite an athlete.

2:26.0

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Thanks, Hank. All my high school friends are shaking their head right now.

2:31.5

I love the idea of think what you're going to do first. I wrote it up for the
