Bruises, banged up bones, muscle soreness, and even concussions would not deter his determination to get the ball into the end zone. It was always about so much more than a game. It was about tenacity. It was about teamwork. It was about using unique gifts and abilities of each player to reach a common goal. The surface goal was to win the game. TheRead more
Word of the Week Challenge – Vibrant
A sea of business suit-clad men were walking on the busy sidewalk during rush hour on a New York City street. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the serious business world emerges a father holding the hand of his son.
