Tonight the Lady Millers Lacrosse Team took the field at Covenant Christian High School for our season opener. It begins my third year as the Head Coach, and it is looking to be an exciting year. We played very well from beginning to end, and every single player was able to take part in a 17 – 2 victory!

Of course there are a ton of games to go, and I learned a long time ago, first as an athlete and now as a coach, that you take one game at a time. Tonight was a Varsity game only, but by the end of Saturday night we will have played 4 additional games, 2 Varsity and 2 JV. And from there it will be a constant blur of games until the State Finals on May 23rd. We, like every team in the state, hope to be there.

But it was great to finally get here. The last time we were scheduled on the Covenant Field I was our season opener in 2008. I was in the hospital following my stroke, and one of our assistants and two of our men’s team coaches guided the team to a victory. I thought about that a lot tonight…..how thankful I have been and am for the support of many friends, and how thankful I am to the Lord for the opportunity to walk out onto that field myself.

Everyday is indeed a gift, and I am blessed with each one of them. Win or lose, it is a privilege to live this life. I thank God for today, and if it is His Will to let me see tomorrow, I will thank Him for that as well!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
