Wild Musings and Rants of a Humorous Nature

I come to you today in much pain and discomfort. I had surgery yesterday on a bi-lateral hernia. Needless to say I feel like I have been mule kicked by a real government mule.
For those of you that do not know I was hired on as the Head Boys Basketball Coach at Gaylesville on Tuesday June 26. I cannot describe to you how excited and grateful I am for this opportunity. This is why I went into education....to someday have the opportunity to take over my own program. I know men that have been coaching for 15+ years and still have not had that chance. So to have only coached for five years and have this chance is a real blessing from the Father.
My son Tyler is very excited about his daddy going to Gaylesville. He has had somewhat of a difficult time wrapping his little brain around the notion that I will not be at Ashville this year. For some time he was quite distraught at the idea that I would not wear green when I coached. However, he has finally started to come around and he is excited about sitting on the bench with me at Gaylesville.
There are a few people that I would like to thank as I begin this new era in my life
1. My heavenly Father.....For always reassuring me that your hand of provision is always present and ever near
2. My wife Robin.....I could not do this type of work without your support. Being a coachs' wife takes a special breed of female, and Robin is wonderful support system. I love you with all of my heart.
3. David Elrod...You taught me more about being a head coach than anyone I have ever been associated with. You taught me how to deal people as well as teaching me the X's and O's
4. Van Owens....You are the one that first turned me on to the idea of coaching. Watching you for those years at Coosa lit a fire inside of me showing me that this is what I want to do.
5. My Family(Mom, Dad, Josh).....For always believing in me even when I doubted myself.


I know that there are many more that I need to thank, but I just can't remember you all. So to everyone that has had any influence in my life......Thank you and I love each one of you dearly.

God With You
