I was 18 years old. I remember thinking . . . "WOW! Outa my league ... but I gotta try."
I got her. How about THAT! (looking off in the distance with a silly smile because I am still smitten)

Holt's Faith
Holt has been asking questions about death and what happens after people die lately.
A few nights ago Holt again inquired about death and what happens to the deceased etc. We had a loooongg talk. He sat for an hour with me on the couch as I told him the gospel. I asked him if he knew why Jesus died and rose again. He said "nope."
I held him as he cried real tears as he contemplated his sin that killed Jesus. I held him as he thanked God for punishing His only son so that Holt would not have to burn in hell for eternity.
Holt was not as happy about the good news of Christ's rescue of him as I thought he should be. He was still stuck in the mire of his own sin and the price that Someone else had to pay for it. He admitted his sin to God and told Christ that he wanted to live for Him forever. This prayer was the beginning of his salvation. Perseverance will prove it.

God help me to disciple him. I beg You to hold on to him with your Spirit. Thank You for loving him first so that he can now love you. Thank you for your choosing of Holt Reid Jones. He is not deserving (none of us are) but I am thankful.

Mighty Mustangs
Coaching these kids was fun and rewarding. A good coach fosters a kid's spirit for sports. A bad coach kills a kid's spirit. I hope I was a good coach for all 13 Mustangs!
