Sign, From a Child's Mother on the Team
Go Broncos
Sunday is God's day. Parents and young people should be in church on that day.
Not being derogatory but when sports comes before God, there is a problem.
"Not a big sports fan?" you say. NO. I have played/competed in almost EVERY sport and went to State in softball. Gave it up when we tournaments started interfering with being in God's house.
NO ONE LOVES SPORTS & LSU MORE THAN ME, but God comes first, whether it be sports, concerts, tv programs, etc.
Parents, I urge you to think about this. If your child does or doesn't go "pro" and even if they do, where will they spend eternity?
"Raise up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
With all love and respect,
