Blog Update

This week we will be a launching a more regular scheduled posting. This is in connection with the "weekly impact cards" for our ministry team and participants. Each week a post will be published to encourage, challenge and point people to Jesus. They will be written by our sports team and volunteer staff. I trust they are an encouragement to you as well.

Thanks for your support of Sports Impact.

Sounds of Life

There are sounds of life all around us. From the early morning chirp of the birds to the cry of a new born baby, I am constantly hearing the breath of life. As you may know this past weekend Meg gave birth to our third child, Emily Ann. As I watched Emily make her entrance into this world, I could not help but think of the miracle God has given to us. We are blessed.

As the doctors and nurses cared for our little girl, I was reminded of the Psalmists words in Psalm 139, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

As we have prepared for this new life in our home, I am grateful for the reminder that our Creator has knit us together, that He saw our unformed body and that indeed He is wonderful. I am not sure what is planned for your day, but I am confident that there are sounds of life around you too. As you hear them, see them and observe their movements, let me encourage you to take time to thank our Creator, the giver of life and breath.

I will work hard today to thank Him for His wonderful works and for the life He gives. I hope you know Him today.
