For those of you who don't know, Connor is playing football for the first time this year. Wow, it is intense! Practices four nights a week, for three to four hours each. They are working hard, and it is VERY hot out there! :) The Lighthouse Christian Chargers coaching staff are godly men who have an intense desire to make these young men stronger on the field and off. With Christ at the center of the program, they demand excellence, endurance, and commitment. They don't allow bullying, negativity, or mediocrity. You give it all you have, and you give it for the Lord. I'm honored to be a part of the Chargers family, and to have a boy on the field who is learning as much about how to walk with Jesus as he is about football.
I was so proud of my boy today. He was sick with a headache before football practice yesterday, but it passed. He had a very rough night at practice - first one in full gear - and got sick twice. I was so worried he would hate it, or be embarrassed, or say the dreaded Q word, but he toughed it out and finished strong. He came home talking about what he would do differently today to be more ready for tonight. He is one tough cookie. To quote his Uncle Matt, it's not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog. He really is growing up too fast...
