Peanut Butter and Jelly

Well, we survived homecoming and all the festivities and all the football.

My sister reminded me that Texas and football go together like peanut butter and jelly.

She's right!

Tonight was the last game for the middle school team.

The Cypress Christian Warriors battled the Woodland Christian Warriors.

Our warriors were victorious. . .a great way to end a wonderful season!

I have to say. . . it's been fun watching Pete give his best out there!

He has grown as a player

and made some fantastic friends throughout the season, too!

Our school takes football seriously. . .

but they also take discipling seriously.
Because Cypress football is more than a competitive game that young men play. . .

It is an intentional curriculum that uses football to build men.

Peter has learned about faith, love, humility, commitment, trust, encouragement, contentment, courage, and servant leadership.

I wonder if this little man will play football one day!!!

I can't tell you how thankful we are for the coaching staff.
They love our boys . .

YES, they love our boys.  That is their coaching philosophy as found in the handbook:

"to love the players so that they will love one another.  We want to motivate your son to be the best they can be by love, not fear or incentive.  By building a team that is based on love, each player will want to give their best effort out of love for their teammates."

Biblical football  is competing
By the power of God
According to the Word of God
For the glory of God

Colossians 3:23-24

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.  It is the Lord Christ you are serving!"


Here is Peter with his buddy James.  Next week, they'll be trying out for the BB team!!!

Peter,
We are so proud of your commitment to the Cypress team, for all the hard training and long practices. Indeed, God is growing you into a man after His own heart and we rejoice that He has placed godly men in your life to mentor you.  What a fun and fantastic season we all enjoyed.  To God be the glory!

Go Warriors.
