Here is a great article on the injured college Quarterback for Texas, Colt McCoy.  With all the hype and TV coverage, sometimes we have to be reminded these are just young men in college who still need their dads for the tough times. So Colt gripped the ball, stared at his dad and thought, “It’s [...]

As a church body we watched a documentary on the life of Eric Liddell during our New Year’s Eve Service. We watched an additional 30 minute film on his life and commitment to Christ with the Teens during youth group Sunday night. His life and commitment to Christ continue to convict today.  Much of this [...]

  March Madness is finally here! The Brackets are out. Butler is a 9 seed! IU is resting comfortably in Bloomington. Purdue probably has the best chance to advance. If you are connected to Edgewood and want to take part in the Reformed Round Ball Bracket Challenge hosted by Yahoo give me an email and [...]

I have to admit, letter writing is a practice that I am not great at but am trying to get better at. This story on ESPN discusses how Peyton Manning writes letters to former players, because he knows how much letters mean to him and he knows how much the respect of others means to [...]

And just for fun along the family theme here is an artist/songwriter, Andrew Peterson, that I have really [...]

Art Monk

Art Monk was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame this past weekend.  Heather and I caught the last few minutes of his acceptance speech and were very impressed.  Being known as a quiet man, he had one of the most outspoken testimonies I have heard from a professional athlete.  His son’s introduction solidified all [...]

There is a right and wrong way to use words.  The New Testament spends many verses discussing this principle.  Sinclair Ferguson is preaching at Desiring God’s National Conference this year on this subject.  This brief video, giving a taste of what is to come, is very challenging in itself. If you have never heard of [...]

I promise not to turn this blog into a sports blog, I will stick to theology and Christian living and a few family tidbits.  However, the Rick Greenspan news story caused too much disturbance to simply let it go.  Several months back we, IU Fans, watched a coach leave a program he did considerable damage [...]
