In 1973, the year my little sister was born, country legend Tom T. Hall released a song entitled simply, “I Love.” As you can imagine, this was a sweet song, and if you haven’t heard it, I encourage you to find it and give it a listen. Mr. Hall sings, “I love little baby ducks, old pickup trucksSlow-movin’ trainsand rain…” The reason I know this song at all is that mama would sing it to Sherrin and me when we were little girls. I didn’t know who Tom T.

By Caleb DuncanFrom the time I was in high school, I’ve always been a big runner. I started with track and field in middle school, then cross country, and since then, I have always enjoyed lacing up and going outside for a run. For some people, they think that’s crazy! But we all have our ways of relieving stress. In college, I decided to start running 5ks (3.12 miles). I started running a 5k daily, trying to beat my record time.

Caleb Duncan (Editor’s note: This is the final part in a six-part series called “Faith and the Football Field.”)In the past six weeks, we’ve looked at several things that the football field teaches us about Christian life: practice, purpose, preparation, pain, and passion. This week, we come to a sixth and final lesson: priorities. This is a difficult lesson I learned during my senior year of high school. As I prepared for my final football season, I intended to lay it all out for my senior year.
