So I just got off the phone with James "Mitch" Mitchell. He used to be the chaplain for the Tennessee Volunteer football team. For three years he had that position. Now he calls Raleigh, NC home and is going to do the same job at Duke University.


Some of you may know that he's going to come and talk with us at our Day of Champions this year at FBC. Every year we reach out to the area's athletes and invite them to our church. This is my second year to be a part of this exciting event.


I feel like I've been swamped with March 1st for the last month. I've driven to every Middle School and High School in the county. I've delivered posters and shook hands with secretaries and coaches alike. I even got stuck in the mud trying to find my way back from Bargerton Elementary to Lexington (it's harder than you think!).


At any rate, I can't wait to see God work through this one day. My prayer isn't just that we hear some great stories from Mitch, but also that we'll be changed by them. I pray that some athletes and students come to know the Lord through his example and his walk. I pray that I will be challenged in my own faith.


I also pray that you'll come. I can't wait to see you this Sunday for Day of Champions!
