Jeremy Lin Linsanity, God's Fingerprints?

Jeremy Lin God's Fingerprints?
Click for great CNN article on Lin!

Linsanity is catching on even here in China!  Of course, it's nice to finally see an athlete who is solidly grounded and Centered--and I don't mean self-centered, like most of the athletes the media fawns over.  Just what is Jeremy Lin's Center?   Jeremy said of his  meteoric rise to fame, "God's fingerprints are all over the place."

Of course, we all have the stereotype of the calm, inscrutable Asian (and after 24 years in Asia, I've learned to marvel at Asian's generally admirable sense of propriety and control, but I've also learned they too have their limits),  but Jeremy Lin, for all his athletic prowess, seems a model of cool, Centered peace, even in the midst of Linsanity.   What a model for youth today.

Below is an excerpt from the Guideposts website.  Keep soaring, Jeremy Lin--and keep Centered!

Jeremy Lin said,  "If you look back at my story, doesn't matter where you look, but God's fingerprints are all over the place. You can try to call it coincidence, but at the end of the day, there are 20, 30 things when you combine them all that had to happen at the right time in order for me to be here. That's why I call it a miracle.”
