7 yrs ago the Navarre Community lost a special young man (Ian Lockwood). Posting some photos of Ian in his memory!
If you look up the word “fighter” in the dictionary; you won’t find a photo of Ian; but I can tell you, there should be; no one epitomized that word more than him.

Even if the trucks were there; there main highway is not passable. Everything is being done that can be done. Only time will help take care of all things that need to be taken care of.

We teach our sons and daughters about the consequences of their actions and decisions at an early age. Hopefully they listen, because our elected officials who claim to be leaders, are not setting a very good standard.

On Wednesday I found out that my Dad has been diagnosed with Covid-19. Could you please say a prayer for him?

For those of you out there that get to spend time with your family and/or relatives during Thanksgiving ... cherish it!
Time stands still for no one; so take advantage of these times, lay all pettiness aside and truly appreciate those around you. Give thanks to the Lord.

Just like Kaepernick, as they get older, they are starting to become irrelevant, so they think they have to make a little controversy just so people know that they are still around. Love soccer, but will not watch another US Women’s game while she is a part of it.

I'm not a broadcaster that "happens" to be a Christian.
I am a Christian, that God has given the platform to tell the story of these young men that He has blessed with the talent to play this game we call football.

As an American, you have a right to voice your opinion. Remember though, your not playing for your club team, you’re playing for your country; where the name on the front of the jersey is a whole lot more important than the name on the back...could’ve worded it differently IMO.
