"Sin is the reason we are racist, prejudiced, and lie to cover for our own." — Benjamin Watson

Sin is the reason we abuse our authority.

Sin is the reason we rebel against authority.

Conflict, when mismanaged, destroys.

Before competition, as I stand in shoulder pads and cleats, my helmet in my left hand, adrenaline flowing and my heart raging under my right, I never forget the ills of America, but for a moment I envision its potential, remember its prosperity, and give thanks to God for the land He has placed me in and the people I love who live in it.
