Congrats to
@LCU_Wildcats
on claiming a piece of the SAC Football Championship and the league's automatic berth into the
@NAIA
Football Championships. They share the title with
@RamSports
and
@OUAZSpirit
if the Spirit wins their contest tonight.
My son hit his first homer of the season tonight in a great team win against Texas High 7-4... Excited to see how this team develops over the season... If you're ever in the area they are worth the price of admission.
Much love and respect to my man Barnard!!!! He was my trainer 30 years ago when I was in College! Flew in from DC to see us play.. I hadn't seen him in 25 years... Friendships matter!
Pulled on campus this morning @ 5:15am for basketball practice. I noticed football and tennis was already practicing! I thanked God for their sacrifice. I thank God for all of our coaches unseen sacrifices. The passion and commitment they have towards young people is unparalleled
What an honor to share with the 2nd grade class @ JS Clark Leadership Academy this morning. They have an exceptional reading program. The title of my book was "I am Ruby Bridges". My heart bends towards the youth of tomorrow. They are our future!!
My mother just celebrated her 73rd birthday! She has taught me so many things... Things like serving others, taking care of the less fortunate, always put others before yourself and most importantly she taught me about a man name Jesus! So grateful to call her mom!!! ❤️❤️❤️
A special thanks to
@lbcaupdates
for a good week... You put on a very good and informative event! My son is better for attending as I am sure all other kids are too.... Thanks again for the invite!
Reni and his childhood friend in Alexandria tonight! They played travel ball together since they were 9 or 10 years old. They competed against each other tonight @ Menard. Reni's team won 2-1 but the LOVE is real!

Man, how time flies! My little man will be 17 years old tomorrow!!! Not a perfect kid but surely a good one... I pray God keeps his hand upon him all the days of his life....
Press Conference was fantastic in introducing new soccer coach Harrison Houle! Picture includes President Jeffreys, Harrison and I along with Harrison's wife Coach Starkova! We're lucky to have this beautiful family on the "Hill"
You better get your tickets early and watch him play!!! There will come a day when you may not be able to afford to watch him play!!!

Louisiana Christian University has been in the Red River Athletic Conference for two seasons and has won the Sportsmanship Award for the second year in a row.

If you've ever played basketball @ LCU we need to hear from you. We are having a reunion during homecoming weekend. More details to follow!

Sometimes we fight the very things that are good for us!!!! Embrace constructive criticism and never be afraid to grow!!!This message is for me! I hope it helps you too!
#keepgrowing
Whenever I am apart of something that doesn't have success, I look square in the mirror and ask myself what didn't I do!! One must hold themselves accountable first.... Yesterday is over and tomorrow is a dream. What will I do today to change my future outcomes!
Control what you say. Your words are powerful, so use them carefully. Before you speak, ask three questions: is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? If the answer is not yes for all three don’t say it.
The Lord is allowing me to see another sunrise!!! So grateful to you God! Don't allow people or circumstances to steal your joy... The Bible says life is like a vapor! Have a great day!
Food for thought: When you're frustrated, keep moving. When you're tired, keep moving. When you've been offended in some way, keep moving. Why? Your charge from God doesn't change because of your environment. In your weakness his strength is perfect!!!

Remember these 4 things Gods word declares:
1. I will make a way for you
2. I am fighting your battles
3. Prayer is the best medicine
4. Trust his timing
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.....Serenity Prayer
When the Devil can't take you out directly, he will try to tire you out through tribulations. Don't get tired! Keep fighting. Keep Showing up. Trust God for his plan.
#stayfaithful
to his word!
Lord, I pray for all young people this morning. I pray God you ease all anxiety, all insecurities that the world has created for them. I pray God that they would see themselves as you see them!! In Jesus Name, Amen...
Food for thought today: When it's tough get tougher with the below traits.

@LCU_MBSK
1- Reject bitterness &
self-pity.
2- Trust in God’s
goodness.
3- Maintain a heart of
gratitude.
4- Cultivate a spirit of
determination.
5- Laugh.
The words we speak out of our mouth have power! Speak good things over your life... Gods word declares life and death is in the POWER of the tongue! Have a great day!
Gods heart is broken when his people that are called by his name mistreat each other! Love is universal even if we don't agree...

Sometimes we just need to rest as my bull is on this picture! Rest allows us to clear our mind and it allows us to reflect and change direction if necessary.

Great day for Griffin baseball! Lost 3-0 Thursday and had to win 2 games to advance. Picked up 2 huge wins on the road Friday to move on to next round next week! Congrats to players, coaches and oh yeah the fans showed up and supported big time! See ya next week...
When the Holy Spirit confirms something, don't you second guess it! Make adjustments and do what you have to do even if it hurts! Remember the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord!!
Exciting day for Griffin Baseball and Little Reni on yesterday! Very grateful and proud of the coaches and entire North DeSoto team!!!

The road in life gets bumpy..... but God! So grateful to be one of his children through it all... Have a blessed Sunday! I encourage you to Worship somewhere this morning... Have a great day!
Sometimes Gods purpose is bigger than we can ever imagine. What do you do when you're in the Valley? As for me and my house we will serve the Lord...... Joshua 24:14-15... It is God that has the final say and I will trust him until the end....
Life has so many different seasons!! Today I celebrate my Civics/Free Enterprise teacher you went home to be with Jesus! Mrs. Speed "Thank You" for always holding me accountable. Little things like tucking my shirt, speaking when I enter a room, do my best in all things etc...
Happy Thanksgiving from the Wildcats!!! Yes we are practicing this morning. We play tomorrow in Texarkana. We will feed the guys @ noon today! Special thanks to former Coach Patrece Carter, my wife and players parents for helping pull the dinner off!

I awoke this morning with a grateful heart and thankful God blessed me with another day! Those things that aren't right in my life are not obstacles but opportunities... my perspective matters! I will WIN the day!
#Our
mindset matters....
God has not given us the spirit of Fear but of power and love and of a sound mind. 2 Tim 1:7.... Be mindful that sometimes situations are tough but God covers and protects.
I Fall, I Rise, I Make Mistakes, I Live, I Learn, I've Been Hurt, But I'm Alive, I'm Human and I'm not Perfect but through it all I AM THANKFUL for another day!

"There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.”.......MLK
Normalize teaching people the right way of doing things instead of belittling them. Once upon a time we didn't know the right way to do things either!!!!

Long day ahead!!! But grateful for the opportunity once again. No matter what has happened God has seen fit to give me another chance. So appreciative of his continued GRACE and MERCY!
Sometimes the simple things are the most important things... Spent time w my 88 year old grandfather and family today! Been awhile since I have slowed down just to hang out... What a blessing to be w my peeps!!!
