So this weekend was Army Navy. We lost to navy but were not defeated. There is a difference...if we keep our spirits high and eyes focused on our goals we will never be defeated.
After the game we went to an OCF dinner with a speaker, Steven Mansfield. He was amazing. He talked about heroes and religion in the military.
He redefined heroes using a biblical definition.
HERO: is someone who does what no one else has to show that it can be done.
He talked about Roger Bannister. He was the first man to break the 4 min barrier for the 1 mile run. But once he did it within 3 months someone else broke it and within a year 3 other people had broke it. Now you can see it broken on a good day at a high school track practice. But none of them could have done it without someone showing them that it could be accomplished. They needed someone to forge a trail.
I will talk about the other stuff some other time.
Your always
Joey
