Very thankful for a Heavenly Father that gives good gifts to His children! As my football playing days come to an end, I remind myself that God, the Giver, is way better than His gifts! #codeblack.

2 really important things to know about this indoor facility: .1. The University did not pay for any of it. It has been funded entirely by alumni and those who believe in what the brotherhood is doing! .2. It’s not finished yet!!! 👀#BuiltbytheBrotherhood.

I don’t know if anybody ranks D2 recruiting classes, but I have no doubt Harding University just signed the best class of elite, talented men in the country. Regardless, the proof will be in the pudding!

I love my Dad for so many reasons. He’s my biggest fan, my favorite pastor, and the best body surfer over 50. By far the main reason I love him is because he shows me what my Heavenly Father’s love is like and that is the best blessings i ever could ask for!!!

- Don’t go to a place that just wants to win on game day, Go to a school that demands you STACK WINS EVERY SINGLE DAY.- Choose to play for coaches who are the type of GREAT MEN you want to be .- Go to a place where you are wanted and feels like FAMILY!.

I’m so blessed to have a Father that always finds his joy in Jesus. When blessing are coming in our family, he finds his joy in Jesus; when troubles come in our family, he finds his joy in Jesus! What a blessing to have a earthly father that points is to our Heavenly Father!.

Cousin is killing it! #blood.
Best under the radar coaching performance so far this season…. NAIA LSU Shreveport MBB head coach Kyle Blankenship took on additional duties as the WBB HC just days before the season started after a late change was made. His men’s team is currently 13-3 and the women are 14-2.

I am appalled and embarrassed with the fact that our President called those who attacked our capitol and killed a capitol police officer “great patriots” and “very special”. I hope all Americans are appalled and embarrassed with this as well!.

Seems like a lot of Americans have forgotten this. “John and I had our disagreements, of course, but in the America John Lewis fought for and the America I believe in, differences of opinion are inevitable elements and evidence of democracy in action,".
George W. Bush honored the late Civil Rights icon at an Atlanta memorial service:. "We live in a better and nobler country today because of John Lewis and his abiding faith in the power of God, in the power of democracy and in the power of love to lift us all to a higher ground"

Thankful for the Warriors that have sacrificed to protect our country! #Honor #Brotherhood.
On Dec. 7, 2006, my friend & @Harding_FB teammate Micah Gifford lost his life in service to our country. Micah was a larger than life personality who impacted others in a mighty way & possessed a true warrior spirit. Thank you Micah. We will never forget you.#MemorialDay
