The other night my daughter got sick.
We were up for a bit, cleaning & doing laundry.
Never did she ask "But daddy did you play D1?" or "How many people were in the stands?"
No - she wanted daddy. That's it.
To the people who really matter, those things don't really matter.

Big day.
Ryker John Nutt.
Born 12.9.21 at 7:27am; 7lb 13oz, 21.5inches long.
Kara blew everyone away in the birthing process. Abigail is great so far - we'll see what happens when we bring him home.
This is my family. I am a blessed man.

The seniors that go 4 years through @DordtFB continually leave it better than they found it.
It's not easy. You're elite if you make it through. But it's so worth it.
I'm thankful for what these guys did for our Defense. We are better because of them.

Recruit a kid from Houston. Watch him struggle. Watch him learn. Watch him grow.
Then he turns into an All Conference LB & Captain.
Today I got to watch Josh profess his Faith and get Baptized, & this summer I get to watch him get married.
It doesn't get much cooler!

These Defensive Seniors finished the last 2 games of their career 129-0.
They set tons of records - individual, game, & career.
They made @DordtFB a dominant football program.
They are grown men. They are family. I'm better because of them.

The last morning of 2020.
I pray we all remember (and use) the lessons we learned in this weird year.
I pray we grow.
I pray we use our influence for good, positivity, and more importantly, Truth.
I pray we place our entire 2021 in God's hands.
God is good, no matter what.

We announced to the team last Friday that I'm going back to coaching the DL - these two shaved their heads soon after because they "wanted Coach Nutt to feel welcome on the DL."

11days ago we took on a game & hadn't played in 126 days.
7days ago we had significant injuries.
Instead of backing out, we got creative & had fun doing it.
And then won big.

A humble and tireless worker; dude was a Quarterback and Linebacker in high school who committed to the vision of @DordtFB no matter what position. And how he's a Junior leading our Defense.

There is so much fear/hate/negativity in this world today (and we'll say that until Jesus comes back). Distractions are everywhere. But, It Is Well With My Soul.
