Steve Spurrier, current South Carolina Gamecock football coach, has spent his whole life around football in the south. Born to a Methodist minister in Florida, the family eventually settled in east Tennessee where he played high school football.

Taking Out the Trash
I had thrown a bag of garbage into the bin the convenience center near our home and was walking back to my car when I heard his voice. “It’s good to see another UK fan” he yelled through the window of his truck. I didn’t recognize him but he immediately introduced himself and extended his… Read More »

True Love
I saw them in the corner of my eye. Seated side by side in a booth at the restaurant where I had stopped to get a take-out order for mine and Monieca’s dinner, she slowly lifted a spoon filled with food to his mouth. His frame was small and age had taken such a toll… Read More »

A Gamecock And A Tiger
Monieca and I were eating cheeseburgers on the River City Cafe deck last Friday at Surfside Beach when two golf carts parked below us caught my attention. As you can see in the photograph below, one sported orange with the Clemson Tiger paw on the side while the other was black with the South Carolina… Read More »
I Had Church In My Car
I had two deeply moving worship experiences Sunday morning. Each one moved me to prayer, praise and tears. One happened in my car and the other in church. While driving to Ashville, NC in time to attend the 9:15 AM worship service at Biltmore Baptist Church, I listened to contemporary Christian music on “The Message,”… Read More »
Proudly Flying A Flag
Penn State sure has been in the news a lot lately and none of it has been flattering. A longtime assistant coach is convicted of child molestation and a legendary head coach is disgraced because he may have participated in a cover up. Emotions are running high and a lot of Penn State football fans… Read More »
