I think Pat Summitt's decision not to accept the Kentucky job in 1976 over $100 worked out pretty good. She was making $8900 at Tennessee. Kentucky offered $9000. "I didn’t think I could afford to move for $100,” said Summitt. Thanks @edrupp for the reminder.

Will never forget the last call I had with Coach Sparks a week before he passed. He answered and said, "Russ how can I pray for you and the family today?" A dear friend later told me that Coach would spread the roster out before games and pray for each player. That's a Coach.

As 2020 winds down, it's easy for me to want it GONE, but what a mistake that would be. Through personal losses and difficult goodbyes, God constantly reminded me that I can find rest, comfort and strength in Him. That's not something to wish away. That's something to embrace.

They're getting closer. The trip to Bethlehem takes about 4 days. The nights are cold, and Mary, almost ready to give birth, is traveling mostly on a donkey. Joseph is by her side, and God is watching over them. I'll keep you updated.
