I don't want to put the buggy before the horse. But we should be much better next year.

It's something we've been doing for years. We compete against those teams to have us playing at the highest level. That's our motive.

Those four help our younger players get focused. It's sort of like having one mindset, one objective, and that's to win the state title.

We've lost to teams that are highly rated or have much bigger programs. The results should help us mentally when we compete in (Class) AA. The season gives us a measuring stick of where we are.

Who – or what – we’re attached to has more to do with changing our behavior than what we know.

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the Three-in-One, is our model of holistic well-being. The Eternal “Us.” They model what we all long for as individuals and as a community.

Trinitarian relationships are particularly important to the brain. Grace-filled interactions with two people are necessary for our brain and identity to become stable and complete. Neuroscientists call these “three-way bonds” or “family bonds.

It is outrageously foolish to dismiss relationships as “fluff” or “nice things to have.” God designed relationships to provide the central organizing experiences and the primary vehicle by which we learn to experience and respond to all of life.

Abiding apprenticeship to Jesus protects us from religion’s common dysfunctions.

When we function out of fear, we end up “doing the God thing” without God. Driven by fear, we opt for control and control numbs us to the value of relationships – especially our relationship with God.
