That little prayer you do every morning has a bigger role in the upcoming future. Dear son, Be a prayerful man.

I’m thankful for organizations that provide opportunities for young people to compete. Life is a competition. The lessons learned in working hard to achieve goals and overcoming adversity truly prepares us for the real game of life.

As an OC you have to accept that you will be in the most critiqued position on staff. Everyone thinks they can call plays and that it’s easy. In reality it’s one of the hardest coaching positions in all of sports. But that’s also what makes it one of the most fun positions.

I’m a high school teacher. We have policies. Late work gets points deducted. Turn it in on time or take the hit. That’s how students learn responsibility. Senior year. Final paper worth thirty percent of the grade. Due Friday. Monday came. Still no paper from this one kid. Smart kid. Never missed assignments before. Called him to my desk after class. “Where’s your paper?” He looked down. “I don’t have it” Waited. He didn’t elaborate. “You know this tanks your grade right? Might not graduate” He nodded. Still wouldn’t look at me. “Do you not care?” His voice cracked. “My dad died Thursday night. Heart attack. Paper was done. On my laptop. But I’ve been at the hospital. At the funeral home. I forgot. I just forgot.” My chest tightened. “I’m so sorry. Why didn’t you tell me?” “Because it sounds like an excuse. Everyone has excuses.” He finally looked up. Eyes red. “Just fail me. I deserve it.” Closed my gradebook. “Email me the paper tonight. Full credit. And take this week off. Come back when you’re ready.” He shook his head. “The policy—” “I’m the teacher. I make exceptions when life happens. Your dad died. That’s not an excuse. That’s a tragedy. Go home.” He graduated. Top ten percent. Spoke at graduation. Mentioned a teacher who showed him that rules and compassion can coexist. I was in the audience. Crying. Sometimes grace matters more than policy. —Mr. Hayes, English teacher

Today I turn 50, and this is the wisdom I leave with you. HONOR GOD in all you do. Never mock Jesus Christ. Run every decision through principles, not emotions. Be the most disciplined man in your environment. Avoid sloppy men at all cost. They will infect your mindset, your habits, and your ecosystem. How a man does one thing is how he does all things. Cover the woman in your life spiritually, physically, and financially. That is your role. It is okay to be masculine. In fact, it is necessary. Pray every morning before you touch the world. Never hand ownership to anyone until they have been tested under massive pressure. Money does not change people. It exposes them. Just keep going, it will work out. Anyone hating on you is not ahead of you. Life is not fair. Stop expecting it to be. Money is not evil. Money is a tool. The most skeptical people are usually the most broke. The loudest complainers are usually doing the least. Cash flow is king. Cash without systems disappears. Money needs structure. Wealth needs discipline. And lastly, it is all going to be okay. GOD is good all the time. Be present in the gift of life. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. Love yourself. Love people. And remember, none of this material stuff comes with us. With love, Coach JV

When someone describes the best thing about you, don’t let it be that you were a good athlete. Sports is what you do, not who you are. Life will go on and people will soon forget what you did…and you’ll be stuck with who you are.

The most powerful Bible verse: "If you don't feel like praying, force it. Because something is also forcing you not to pray." JAMES 4:7

I was flying Southwest from Dallas to New York. Three rows ahead of me, there was a young soldier in uniform. He looked barely 18. He was staring straight ahead, gripping the armrests. He looked nervous. When the drink cart came around, the flight attendant asked him what he wanted. 'Coke, please,' he said. 'Heading home?' she asked kindly. 'No, ma'am,' he said. 'Deploying. First time.' The whole row went quiet. The flight attendant didn't say a word. she handed him his Coke. Then, she got on the PA system. 'Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very special guest in Row 8 today. Private Miller is on his first deployment to serve our country. Since I can't buy him a drink, I’m going to ask a favor. If you want to write him a note of encouragement, pass it forward.' I grabbed a napkin. I wrote: 'You got this. Stay safe. - A dad from Row 12.' I watched as napkins traveled up the aisle. Napkins, receipts, pages torn from books. By the time we landed, the soldier had a pile of paper on his tray table three inches high. He stood up to get his bag, and he was wiping his eyes. He carefully packed every single scrap of paper into his rucksack. 'Thank you,' he told the flight attendant. 'No,' she said. 'Thank you.' We all walked off that plane a little quieter, reminded that freedom is just a word until you meet the kid who is defending it. Credit: Margie Lee

I was always angry, and I had a huge hole in my heart. Nothing made me happy. Then I got married to a God-fearing woman, and at home she would read the Bible every morning. After a while she said, "do you want me to read aloud to you?" So I sat down, and she started reading the Bible aloud to me, every morning. Eventually I said, "Well, let me read it," and so I started to read it aloud to her. And then it was like the Lord said to me "Chuck, it's time to come home. It's been long enough." And now my heart is filled up again.' ☩ Chuck Norris 1940-2026
