Coach "J"

From the writer of Hebrews ........... Good Advice Hebrews 10:23-25 NLT Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. And the warning that follows Hebrews 10:26-29 NLT Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins.

I am working on my ministry credentials online through Global University's Berean School of the Bible. That is a lot of new.  I believe that as Christian's "we should be on mission from God". I also believe that that mission changes depending on what stage in life we are at. My new journey is Global University and making up for some lost or wasted time.

As a football coach who has struggled with the balance between my jo...
