Don't shed any tears for me. I got to live a dream most people don't get to live.

I had 10 to 12 close buddies who I played ball with all the way from elementary to high school. That is where I learned to compete.

As a father of seven kids, and been a kid myself at one point, I realize you don't always make the best decisions every time out. And life is a learning experience.

I learned it doesn't matter how you win. You play to your team's strength.

Nothing is more deflating to morale than to have a poor outcome pinned on someone who doesn't deserve it. It lacks integrity and overvalues the outcome at the expense of the people as well as the process.

I have yet to hear God's audible voice, although I have often felt led by God in more subtle ways.

God's definition of success is really one of the significant differences our lives can make in the lives of others.
