Have you ever received a note or a phone call at just the right time? I did today. I had just arrived at Northwestern for my weekly visit to their football team when my phone rang. I had no clue who was calling because it was shown as a “private call.” What happened next was a much needed blessing in my life today.

I was recently honored by a close friend in an article in FCA’s Sharing the Victory magazine. Jason Wright, a dear brother in Christ, told how I had been a spiritual father-figure to him. I’m not sure I deserve that type of praise, but I do cherish my relationship with him.

Louis is a fifth-year senior who has earned the right to be named a captain of this year’s team. But his road has not been an easy one.
