Newsletter 4 – Opportunity

WEEKLY JOURNAL 

JANUARY 26TH – FEBRUARY 1ST 

OPPORTUNITY 

As I sit in front of my computer and write this newsletter I cannot help but think about the tragedy that occurred this morning. Kobe Bryant and his beautiful daughter Gianna perished in a helicopter crash in southern California.  As a parent the moment your children enter this world your mission and purpose change. In an instant your life becomes secondary and your sole purpose revolves around providing, protecting and loving your child. I cannot imagine the grief that the Bryant family is experiencing right now. All I can do is pray for their strength. 

It is a sobering reminder of the fragility of life and the blessing each day is. The word of the week is “OPPORTUNITY” .  Too often we go through days dreading the obligations that we have. This week we ask our program to look at life as an opportunity. Each day we have on this earth is a blessing that is taken away from someone else. The opportunity to learn, laugh and love cannot be taken for granted. Neither should those aspects we don’t enjoy as much. Let’s change our looking glass and view life as an opportunity to connect and impact those we care about in a positive way. Our football program is a special place, filled with wonderful people. I care about all of you and wish you happiness and joy  this week. I sincerely hope you can share this message with those that you come into contact with . 

It is Lift A Thon week!!! The off season performance group has made huge strides and Saturday at 9am is their chance to show it off.
