Honor

The word honor is inspirational. It inspires and commands us to live honorably. To walk and talk in a fashion that is pleasing and respectful.

Athletes are role models for young and impressionable fans. As parents, we must watch how we speak and conduct ourselves. Circular ways have no place in the life of an "Honorable" person.  A young man aspires to be a professional football player. Learning to play the game is only part of it.  A person of honor acts kindly and stands firm in his compassion and convictions based on integrity. Profanity and slander has no place in an aspiring professional. In essence, there is no” Honor" in behavior that demonstrate defiance, disobedience and a blatant  disregard for authority. I’ve written this note because my heart hurts for the mother and family of an aspiring professional. Son, I say this with love, be mindful of your choices. There is Honor when you walk with a peaceful heart. Your touch downs will be greater! God bless you and may the King of Peace be who you follow.
