Are you ready for some football?
On Saturday morning the United Methodist Men welcomed Vista Ridge High School Head Football Coach Bill Wilder to our monthly breakfast. Coach Wilder spoke on the brief history of VRHS football and gave a preview of the upcoming season. He also stressed the importance of coaching staff's influence in the young men's lives and the role of families, church and school in shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
The Rangers step up to district 14-5A this season to play the likes of Westwood, Cedar Park, Georgetown and Leander. They will have their hands full this year but who doesn't like an underdog? Thank you Coach Wilder and Go Rangers!
Guy Church?
I don't often read the USA Today. It is the newspaper for business travelers and those that stay at hotels. I can't remember a time when I read a USA Today when I was not staying at a hotel. While on a business trip (wink), an article caught my attention '...guys are few in the pews'. It is an article about the attendance of men at church and the role that men play at church and in their families and in the community. Tim, don't panic I am not suggesting out first phase building be a 'Guy Church' with 10 point bucks and 10 lb bass mounted on the wall, but there are some interesting statistics mentioned in the article. The quote that made me laugh... "A man is far more apt to come to a church event if another man asks him. If his wife asks him, he'll interpret that as nagging." Give it a read.
Pro Football Hall of Fame
I have to brag that I have the best wife in the world. As we piddled with house chores on Saturday we watch hours upon hours of Pro Football Hall of Fame speeches followed by the X Games motocross air finals. I win!
If you did not get a chance to see the Pro Football HOF speeches on Saturday I recommend you watch the speeches of Art Monk and Darrell Green. Both men are great examples that we all should aspire to be. The end of Darrell Greens speech is excellent.
