February 12, 2006 GREEN BAY WI DIVE IN CONFERENCE
February 17, 2006This high school rally was put on by Rich Curran who works with youth ministry for the diocese of Green Bay.
I was excited because I did a workshop for teens on athletics and Christianity. And there have been so many good athletes who have emboied excellence in athletics and are Christian..There was the late great Reggie White, the “minister of defense.” And I also respect Southern boy, quarterback, Brett Favre.
Sharing with teens about the challenges and blessings of being a CHRISTIAN athlete (or a member of Team Jesus as I call it) was a great remedy for me because I am missing my (volunteer) assistant coaching role with the Loyola University (Wolfpack) Women’s basketball team (caoches pictured below in Hawaii in December 2005)
Notice the shorts (not the legs)…you can wear shorts in Hawaii in December. I wouldnt try that in Green Bay, even though they tell me the 20-something degree weather was MILD. I had to borrow some gloves! I am so not built for the cold!!
The day ended with prayerful adoration time. I was so impressed with how the teens entered into the spirit of that time.
So I had to comment on this photo…you’re wearing your old man socks! HAHA. Oh and PS. I FOUND THE OLD MAN SOCKS I BOUGHT YOU! THEY SURVIVED THE HURRICANE! YAY! But these are actually kind of cool because they have a little basketball man on them, see Mike I’m slowly tring to make you cool…but that may take some time. Haha, miss you and God Bless!
