Dear God,

All I want is to grow closer to you so that I might be in concert with you. 

I realize that I'm nothing without you. Let my words, actions and thoughts today be pleasing to you.

And if I fail or fall short, please forgive me.

-In Jesus Name Amen

The Teacher & The Student:

Many years ago, I taught and trained Stephanie Schilleci Pedigo & Courtney Eggleston Johnson in basketball. They both played basketball at Aubrey H.S.

And while high school for them seems long ago, both are now adults with children and both have taken a serious interest in teaching and coaching kids basketball in Aubrey, Texas.

Yesterday, they brought players from their teams to the camp that I was teaching, and luckily, I was able to make them a part of the teaching because they are now fully trained.

"The student isn't above the teacher but everyone who is fully trained will be like his/her teacher."

Luke 6:40

Community Strength

Not until people (adults & leaders) choose to bury their ego's, titles and statues in the community; and make a commitment to work together in a wholesome and united front, can they make the greatest impact on youth, family and community growth.

-People with degree's, titles, status and money often use them in a selfish manner and often create divisiveness among others and those less fortunate.

Community Strength

Did you know that in many cases the least of those in communities do the majority of the work; while others parade themselves around town ignoring the personal responsibility that they too must share in developing or sustaining community strength and growth.
