The PAP Nation

... neck deep in football for the past few months.

As this football season comes to a close, I am amazed at how successful it was. God's sovereignty has been so completely evident that I can only stand in awe. I love it when you can actually see God's hand and boy, have we seen His hand on our family this past year.

Though I dont often do this, I must brag on my husband. He will chuckle at this but he is such a good example to me on how to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and try again. After his previous head coaching stint, I would have forever thrown in the towel. He didn't... instead, he interviewed for COUNTLESS jobs with many rejections and a few offers. After prayer, we decided that this area was where we were supposed to be and though no football jobs were offered, we came. Five months later- boom- head football coach of a 4A floundering high school!

8 months later- boom- beginning of the PAP nation. Your phrase of Practice After Practice (PAP) has somehow become The PAP Nation and has given this community and your players something to hang their hat on.

2 more months - boom- a team that won only one game last year just finished the 2010 season 9-4!!! What? It is awesome!

Chad, I am proud of you. However, I was also proud of you when you were a head coach at Northern and when you were an assistant at RM. I think it is amazing how much you love your job! The hours you invest into these young men has to do some good. I love you and hope you know how much you are looked up to by not only our little men but me.

Welcome home Daddy!

Most important!
