Do you have a list of sports or championships that "matter"? I've realized that I do. NFL, MLB, NBA and college football all "matter". The Major Championships in golf "matter". Some of the Olympic events "matter". State titles in some high school sports "matter" if...

If God knows everything actual and possible in the universe why do we need to pray? This type of question has come at me more than once in the past week or two. It's a good question, one we can answer, but probably never completely understand all that it...

August, 2001. I was coaching JV offensive backs at a high school in Florida. Usually we had 10th graders on the JV team, but that year we had a hole and needed to bring up a 9th grade running back. So one day I went to check out the freshman team scrimmage, and...

This morning I went for a run. It was early. It was raining lightly. Not ridiculously cold, but a little chilly. Not the kind of situation that usually inspires someone to get outside and exercise. But my friend was expecting me to be out there with him and I wasn't...

God's been chasing me. I've been walking with him for many years, and as so often happens, He's bringing me to a new place in my relationship with Him. For at least a few weeks and maybe a while longer, I've been running on fumes. Been feeling like there's no way I...

This morning the headline on the front page of the KC Star (the real front page, not the sports section) reads "A Tough Time for Tough Coaches", and there is an article about two high profile Head Football Coaches who have recently either been fired or resigned under...

Yesterday I was reading in John chapter 4 and I read the story of the woman at the well. I have read this story many times before and heard at least one or two really good sermons about it. I've had it drilled into me how scandalous it would have been for Jesus to...

This morning I met with a friend and we got to talking about planning. I want to be organized and intentional with what I do. More than that, I want to do everything I do at a very high level. To borrow from my last post, I want to be great at what I do.At the same...

Don't these rings look incredible? Maybe you have one. Maybe you've got a few. Maybe youdon't, but you wish you did. I've been fortunate enough to be around two state title winning teams, once as an assistant coach in 2001, and in 2007 in an admin/support role....
