Despite being robbed of a goal for the second straight match, the U.S persevered and moved on as group leader to the round of 16. I’m sure it must have been tough for the players to fight through all the poor officiating, but they found a way to overcome adversity. If athletes on the US soccer team (who are still humans) can overcome adversity and never give up when their backs are against the wall, how much easier is to overcome trials in our lives with God on our side?

Congratulations to the US Soccer team! We hope you will continue an amazing run in the World Cup. Go USA!

This guy had help from his former teammates, but he said what really helped him out of substance abuse was God. Instead of constantly being stoned, Carbo now goes around speaking about Jesus, baseball, and the dangers of substance abuse. It’s amazing to see how God can change the hearts of all people, especially the ones “good” people see as sinners who will never change.

After a tough and emotional year, Phil Mickelson celebrates his Masters win at Augusta today with his wife, Amy and his three kids. About a year ago, his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. If that wasn’t hard enough, his mom, Mary was diagnosed with breast cancer during the week of his wife’s first surgery. Mickelson throughout this time understandably struggled to find his game. However, he came into Augusta confident that he had a chance to win his third green jacket. He was solid the first three days and flawless on the last day which led him to a victory that he and everyone will never forget.

He said, at the end, with his voice breaking…“We’ve been through a lot this year and it means a lot to share some joy together. She’s an incredible wife, an incredible mother, and she’s been an inspiration to me, going through what’s she’s been through”.

Phil, this win makes you an inspiration to many. Not just because of your phenomenal playing this weekend, but because of the perseverance you had this entire year. Congratulations on your victory! You deserve it.

Saint’s QB, Drew Brees, provides some inspiration for a boy battling Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This boy has also served as an inspiration to Brees throughout the playoffs. Brees and the entire Saints team also desire to bring back hope to a city devastated by Katrina.

Thought this would be a good video to watch right before the Super Bowl starts. If you don’t have a team, maybe you’ll consider rooting for the Saints.

Enjoy the game….Go Saints!

Preemptive Love Coalition is an organization that works hard to provide Arab and Kurdish children with the essential medical care that they need outside of Iraq.  Legacy appreciates what Preemptive Love is doing because they are serving these children in a way that all people are called to do – out of love.  We are all called to love our neighbors and love our enemies because LOVE NEVER FAILS.

Preemptive Love also raises awareness and funds for these children by selling shoes called the Klash on their website.  However, if the Klash isn’t part of your style, they encourage you to still get involved in the cause.  Donating funds and raising awareness about Preemptive Love is Legacy’s way of getting involved.  Learn more about how you can get involved at their website:  Preemptive Love

Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity.

This is one of the most entertaining and humorous videos I’ve seen on TED.com.

This movie is based on the true story of Michael Oher, rookie left tackle for the Baltimore Ravens. Oher grew up in a broken home, father was murdered when he was in high school and his mom is a crack cocaine addict. He attended eleven different schools during his first nine years as a student. The Tuohy family finally took Oher in and helped him out with his needs, especially with his education. With his grades up, he was able to play football and quickly became a high school standout that was highly recruited.

I look forward to watching this movie when it comes out.

Definitely am encouraged by his courage and will to fight.  Look forward to seeing you back on the field soon.

Fight On!

I really like what Preemptive Love Coalition is seeking to do.  They are serving these children in a way that all people are called to do – out of love. We are called to love our neighbors and love our enemies because LOVE NEVER FAILS.

PLC is raising awareness and funds for these children by selling shoes called the Klash on their website.  However, if the Klash isn’t part of your style, they encourage you to still get involved in the cause by doing something from a car wash to being a representative on your campus.

This year marks the 20th Anniversary of The Tenderness Tour and is currently taking place now until October 17.

Richard Propes will travel, most likely for the last time, by wheelchair across the state of Indiana to raise support to end child abuse.

I don’t know a lot about the issue of child abuse, but I know it is something that plagues are society today.  What Richard is doing is amazing because he is doing what he can to solve this problem.  I really wish I was in the area to witness and hear what this guy has to say.

I wish Richard the best of luck and his tour! God Bless
