I can't do this without thinking of my Drill Sergeant dad. He served in the Korean war and actually ended up being injured twice and had two purple hearts. He was a true warrior in defending our freedom. So that's the kind of background that I have in my life.
I can remember as a young boy, I came to him one time and said I had a headache and he'd come over and kind of gave me a hug. Then he said, and he said, “Hey, put your foot right down here.” So I put my foot over there and he stomped down on my foot. I started hopping around on one foot and said, “What'd you do that for, Dad?” and he said, “Well, you're not worried about your head hurting anymore, are you?”
So we learned as kids not to complain about anything hurting. Or we go and get some love from our mama, but our daddy? No, he's going to let you know, “There's nothing to worry about so quit being a worrier.”

Years ago I went on a Boy Scouts backpacking trip that was 60 miles long, from Snoqualmie Pass to Stevens Pass up in Washington state on the Pacific Crest Trail. I was one of two adults, our scoutmaster and myself as assistant scoutmaster. We had four boys along with us on this high adventure and one of them was named Victor, who was very athletic, a running back at his high school football team, while the other three boys were all farm boys, all in pretty good shape, although not real athletic. But they knew about hard work and could hold their own out in the wilderness.
These trails we hiked were not flat, so we did some pretty good climbing. Since we were backpacking, we brought tarps instead of tents, we brought dehydrated food instead of canned goods. If you’ve been backpacking, you know what all goes into a week long high adventure. We could only carry a certain amount of weight in our backpacks. As we're traveling along, Victor seemed like he wanted to be out front and leading the pack, which was not a problem because the trail was well-marked. So he would climb fairly quickly and get up to the top, turn around to kind of mock us like, “Come on. This is easy. My Grandma is faster than all of you!”

Books are windows AND they are mirrors. Ever go to the window and look outside... then when the light is just right and look at the window just at the right angle, you notice that the window becomes a mirror. That was my experience with Gale Sayers autobiography, I Am Third. At first, I peered into the window and saw my hero, Gale Sayers, but then I began to notice my reflection in the mirror as he explained the title of the book. I thought Gale Sayers was NUMBER ONE... but once I learned that God is FIRST, my friends/family are SECOND and that I am THIRD... I saw myself in that BOOK!!
