Football is a vocation and an opportunity for ministry. But it's not a life.

It's about the journey--mine and yours--and the lives we can touch, the legacy we can leave, and the world we can change for the better.

Others first. Whatever your corporate mission, paint a clear and compelling picture that others can understand and embrace. State your mission in terms that appeal to your team's best instincts. Persuade and empower as if you are leading and mentoring volunteers.

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 found that while life drags on when you're losing, it marches on when you're winning.

I am a firm believer that the Lord sometimes has to short-circuit even our best plans for our benefit.

I said all along that God is in control.
