My Position


Get Ready: 1 Corinthians 10:31

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.


Get Set: Lord help us to serve you and others before ourselves. We are such selfish creatures by nature, but you tells us that greater is He that is in us, than he who is in the World!Change our hearts and desires that they may glorify You.


Coach: Somewhere along the way I got the crazy idea to volunteer coach somewith our Middle School in Dodge County. Wow is that different from High School! I have learned so much in a short time span. You have to be very basic and constantly stay on the fundamentals or you will loose them. Shoot, sometimes they have trouble dressing! There are 2 things that stick out to me in this: (1) I am there to help serve and minister to these boys and coaches. Whether I am the FCA guy or a coach, my perspective has to be right. As Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians, “whatever you do, do all for the glory of God”.

(2) Lineman are the essence of the game. As I coach my linemen, I realize that they are to be a servant. They don’t get the glory, their names in the paper very much, and very few pats on the back, but you let them miss a block and everyone knows it. Without them, it doesn’t work. They are close knit, fun loving, and just do their “thing”. Taking care of the team and what is best for it. What position do you play in Christ? I want to be an offensive lineman for Christ!
