Well said. Venus and Serena entered not just a tribal sport but a colonized empire; they beat the natives with their own weapons, and without trying to do so, stamped their images on the native's coins. Their success shows the power of an organized supportive family in which parents are committed to leading with love and youths are willing to follow.

I remember Serena telling that every time she went to a tournament she was drug tested, not randomly, every time. Serena is strong because that is spirit killing.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ: The way you become saved for eternal life in Jesus Christ is to repent and believe in him. Repenting means to soften your heart and look at the truth about yourself, confessing and renouncing your harmful ways, which is evidenced by making a sincere effort to stop doing the things you do that harm people. Believing in Jesus Christ means believing that he offered himself up at the cross to pay the penalty for your sinfulness (harmfulness), which is death and separation from God. It also means believing that as God's own son, Jesus Christ is God also and is himself sinless, so that he could pay the penalty for our sins for us, since he didn't have to pay it for himself. And being God, death having no hold on him, after three days he was resurrected from the dead and is now at the right hand of God the Father. When the Lord sees your change in heart, and your turning to believe in Jesus Christ, He will reveal Himself to you; make Himself apparent to you in a way that is real to you. Then you will truly believe in Jesus Christ and your new Christian life with the Lord will begin, and continue eternally. He will enable you to truly live
