Go Longhorns!

Joshua is playing soccer this year. He kicked the ball more times during the last game than he did all last season. He is playing on an Upwards Soccer league at our church. Upwards Soccer teaches soccer skills while also emphasizing good sportsmanship (Christ-like behavior) and non-competitive game play. Most importantly, Upwards teaches the kids (and parents) the Truth about God. We are all born sinners...and our sin separates us from the relationship that God desires to have with us. The penalty for this sin is death. However, the good news is while we were sinners, Christ died for us. Christ paid that penatly on the cross. Our relationship with God can be restored by placing our trust in Him. This is the most important message our children will ever hear. It is a wonderful experience to have our coaches pray before the game and read the Bible with the children.
...speaking of the coaches...I think the Longhorns assistant coach is a hottie!
