Hey Everybody!!
I am happy to announce that this is my first blog entry. That's right, I have officially entered the 21st century. I am blogging!! I should call my mom and tell her - anything to make Mom proud.
First of all, I want to thank all of you, the viewers of The Daily. I was recently telling one of my friends that I giggle like a little kid everytime I walk onto our set. It is hard to believe that there is a TV show that is shown across the country with me on it. I look at the set (so professionally done) and the crew ( so busily working at their tasks) and I am humbled at the fact that they are here for me! I am fully aware and recognize the fact that God has given me a tremendous platform to speak His Truth. That's so cool!!
Let me switch it up on y'all! I am here at my office at the BC Lions practice facility. I just spent the last five hours watching game film from the 2008 season. We (Defensive coordinator Mike Benevides and myself) are preparing ourselves for this year's campaign. I am looking at our performance as a team and as a coaching staff - identifying areas of improvement.
The question we always ask is, "WHAT DID WE LEARN TODAY?"
We normally have a list of eight to twelve items of that we need to improve. But, lets expand our vision for a minute. What if, at the end of each day, you took the time to ask that same question? Do you think that you would be a person the next day? What items would be on your improvement list? What steps would you take to improve your life? Do you have the courage to make those changes?
Deep questions for my first blog...in any case, answer those questions and you may very well learn a lot about yourself as you review the film of your life.
What did I learn today?
I learned how to blog - incredible - I learned that Thunder Stack Flop is a great defense and that I need to get back to work!!
Grace & Peace
