Earning
A Father's Approval
Success has been passed down in the (Dale) Jarrett family, but the
main goal is to make their Heavenly Father proud
By David Smale
Anyone who has played an organized sport on the same team as the coach’s
son or daughter knows the problem. If the kid is the star, there are charges
of nepotism. To compensate, sometimes the parent/coach is harder on his
or her own child than any other. You just can’t win. Of course, the kid
is under intense scrutiny as well, as any success can be deemed a result
of preferential treatment.
Following
The Plan
Navy's Brian Madden saw his plans derailed, but he's looking to
God for guidance
By David Smale
Brian Madden had it all planned. He was going to be an All-American
quarterback, win the Heisman Trophy and lead the Naval Academy to an undefeated
season. A very humble young man, the praise and adulation that would be
coming his way still would be music to his ears.
But during spring practice, he heard a different sound. It was a pop,
the sound a knee makes when it goes a different way than God designed it
to go.

year on campus.
