Monday night devotional-Union Football Team

Run to Win, written by Donald T Phillips is a great book on the coaching and leadership style of Vince Lombardi. This 10 minute devotion focuses on the last months then days of his life.

On Monday nights the Bulldog Football Team normally gathers for a time of devotional encouragement, scripture and motivation as we each ponder our place in life and God’s Will for us and our talents.

Matthew 6:33 is the spring board for this devotional.

Presently the Union College Football Team is being impacted by the effects of Covid19. Nothing that welcome but nevertheless something that we must face and work through.

Normally our team gathers for Monday night for devotionals and given we are in quarantine, this is my personal efforts to encourage our teams, coaches, staff, fans and families at large to press on.

In the mountains of Southeastern Kentucky there is this special place that everyone knows as Hazard & Perry County. The name identifies the City of Hazard and Perry as the County in Kentucky.

Kendall Noble grew-up in Hazard & Perry County attending high school at Perry Central where she was a stand-out athlete on the girls basketball team. She made a big transition in life from high school basketball to Women's Division I College Basketball in the NCAA by attending and playing basketball at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Ky.

As a member of the starting five she is making a big impact on the floor as an athlete and off the floor as an academic student studying biology. She wants to be a medical doctor and I am convinced she will accomplish that goal too.
