Coach,
there is probably not a lot you know about me then. I am not saying I am perfect... I am a sinner and far from perfect. Hence the need for a savior and the gift of Christ.
I accepted Jesus as my savior in June 2010 and was emmersed and baptized with the proclamation of Jesus Christ being the son of God and died to wash away my sins!
I have since then taken up my cross and am doing the best I can daily to live a life, raise a family and coach in a manner that glorifies the father and shines the light of Christ across the world.
I am a member of Pathway Church. I do Youth Ministry every Sunday night from 6-9 p.m., Lead a adult bible study (Small group on Thursday nights) and also started and attend a coaches bible study at Heights every Tuesday morning at 6:30 a.m.
However, none of my works has earned me grace with God b/c the only grace was his gift of Jesus! None of us deserve it... thankfully, God decided to "Bless" me and anyone who wants to accept it with his gift.
I also use Jesus in a lot of my coaching since my new life has began! There is one way to the father and it's through the son. We can never work hard enough to earn Gods grace but if we have Jesus in our hearts, we will automatically desire to be better, serve others more and try to live a life based on the teachings of Jesus!
I am a failure and a hypocrite... but I am no different than the rest of God's creation who doesn't deserve it either!
If you would like to talk more about this in person or on the phone, feel free to contact me. Again, I had a horrible start... but thank God it's a marathon and not a sprint!
