It's not exactly been the season everyone hoped for during those long, hard summer workouts.It was suppose to be "The Year" when all the hard work paid off.
Last night was only our second victory of the season.
This season has been filled with disappointments and discouragement. It has also revealed how human nature can get a little ugly when things aren't going as expected.
Through it all, Zach has made us proud. He has played well....extremely well. He's usually on the field for the entire game. He's strong and resilient.
But the thing that makes me the most proud, is his refusal to participate in the bickering and blame. His journey through this season has resulted in an amazing personal and spiritual growth. When faced with the challenge to stand up and/or speak up for what is right, he has quietly stepped up to the plate.
Football pads and helmets are a modern-day version of armor. Physical strength is mandatory on the football field. However, as he steps away from the field, I pray he has learned that true strength comes from the Lord.
"Finally, Zach, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you (Zach) may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
Ephesians 6:10 -11

Greg has always been a huge supporter of high school athletics. He says that it teaches so much more than just physical lessons. Sounds like your boys are learning some of those lessons.
