Thanks to the Wesleyan Denomination’s Spiritual Formation Department I received this book just last week and finished it up just this morning!
What a great look inside the life of the Coach Dungy’s coaching principles and God-honoring lifestyle!
With the help of Nathan Whitaker – a personal friend of the Dungys, Coach Dungy has written an amazing account of his life up-through the Colts’ Super Bowl win last year! Reading through much of the history of this great NFL coach and seeing how God has continued to be his focus throughout his adult life, it is encouraging to cheer on Coach Dungy and “my” Indianapolis Colts.
The book is exciting for my football-loving mind, too, in that it reads occasionally like a play-by-play of some of the high-profile games I sat on the edge of my seat during. To read those same plays coming from the coach of the team I was cheering for brings a new angle and excitement.
I recommend this book to any Colts fan AND/OR to anyone looking to read about a person who puts his faith in Christ first before his career – and how that faith interweaves throughout his dealings in life!
Coach Dungy is a hero in my book – even before reading his book!
It’s been such a busy week that I haven’t found (taken?) time to post an update on what happened earlier this week! (Thanks, Sher for the “friendly” reminder).
On Tuesday Jess was feeling well enough to be left home-alone while Ella and I ventured out for a quick-trip to Naperville where my folks from Pennsylvania were visiting my sister, Sherilyn for her birthday! Ella and I had a fantastic trip together and enjoyed visiting with my family very much. Ella loved being able to be surrounded by the young girls that Sherilyn is the Nanny of there in Naperville.
More pictures from the trip to Naperville are here.
On Wednesday, I was able to take Jess to get her CT Scan that revealed a for-sure kidney stone that is apparently still attached to her Kidney – NOT the source of her pain. Jess had an appointment with a Urologist in Waukesha yesterday and was told that he thinks she may have already passed a stone during her most-painful days and that they will be taking another CT Scan next week and a follow-up visit with the Urologist to see how things are going!
Jess is feeling much better these days, though she is very sore from the extreme pain that she did have in her side during those difficult days! Continue to pray for her as we sort through these days and weeks!
We had 6-entries into the talent portion of the evening with a group of girls that called themselves the “Culvers Clik” winning the overall competition. It was a night of laughs and some serious worship-through-music with Atlantic.
I know our students will be talking about this event for a long time!
