Sweet Sunday: 1 Timothy 6:11-12

"But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith." -1 Timothy 6:11-12

I love this verse because God is commanding us the attributes He desires to see in us, but He's not saying it will be easy.

Even God is saying "fight the good fight".  Being gentle for example is not easy. It's nature to become angry. Sometimes fighting the good fight of the faith is fighting natural reaction and choosing to be godly or gentle.

Anyway, I would also like to take the time to congratulate my cousin, John, on returning home from five years of service in the marine corps. Thanks for fighting the good fight for our country. Proud of you!

Sweet Sunday: 1 Timothy 6:11-12

Well folks, the Texas Tech Red Raiders have returned from the American Royal. Let's just say it didn't go as we had hoped that it would....we were 4th! But, that's okay, we have a pretty big fire in our hearts to work harder and be better for the NAILE (in only 15 days, holy cow!).

But, here's the important thing: there are bigger things than winning the American Royal - like serving the Lord thankfully for all our wins and all our loses.

So here it is: my humble thank you to the Father for the ever-so-sweet road trip and one week I got to spend with my teammates, for all the stock we got to see, and the friends I got to hug in Kansas City.

We fought the good fight, now we are ready to hit the road again and win the BIG one! Louisville, get ready to be wrecked by the raiders!

My wonderful teammates in Kansas City.
