PN COED FLAG RUGBY SOCIAL & HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Time: A nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present, to the future.

"Time flies when you're having fun" is often quoted by yours truly.  I can honestly say I'm having fun doing what I do; creating opportunity for myself and others.

This past Saturday, December 20th, 2014 PeppNation SLC hosted it's second annual Coed Flag Rugby Social, @Hephatha Lutheran Church Gym, Milwaukee WI.  Student Athletes, ages 7-14, throughout Wisconsin gathered to participate in this fun filled day event.  Rugby, Arts and Crafts (Holiday Cards), Rugby Film Review and PeppTalk {Civil Conversations around respect].  Community were among the many topics our guest engaged conversation.  I'm thankful to all our participants, parents, volunteers and spectators for their attendance.


24 games, 450 + points scored and lots of community was what this day was all about.  Teams of  mixed race and genders, playing with students other then their norm.  Seems so basic and the impact is breath taking to say the least.  I witness, leadership unlike I've ever seen before.  There was much skill level volatility on each team and celebrated their victories and evaluating, and improved upon their shortcomings as one unit, each and every game   There are two definition of Community displayed Saturday; 'A group of people having common interest, which I believe we demonstrated wonderfully, and A group viewed as forming a distinct segment of society'.  For example

The Community of Educated People
The Community of Civil People
The Community of Athletic People
The Community of Positive People
ALL OF THE ABOVE, WE ARE!

We've wrapped up 2014 PNSLC programming in stellar fashion and looking to have an even STRONGER 2015!  Happy Holidays PeppNation! I thank you all for your support and time.  We're in it to win it..  This is our journey, I didn't get here alone and together we will prosper.

One Unit, One Team, PeppNation

Thursday 9/30/10

It seems like forever since I have posted on this page, sometimes running around training, working and the acts of everyday life gets the best of you. Well now its time to settle down and recap on whats been going on for the month of September 2010. I have spent lots of time on the track and in the gym, getting bigger, faster and stronger; and helping others do the same. Part time working at a restaurant here in Atlanta called the Collonade, it pays the bills for now. Obviously not what my dream job is and I agree it's not what I'm suppose to be doing. It's funny because every time I have a server position, I always get comments like "you shouldn't be doing this job" from the guest and they are right. I simply tell them I'm just paying the bills for now, but I always wonder what it is that they see in me besides my size and smile that makes me seem out of place. Whatever it is I agree with them 110%.

I'm looking forward to the change and the job that best fits me, football :). We have been doing lots of filming this month also and along with the personal training I have been doing on the side I have kept myself busy to say the least. Teams have remained in contact with me and I'm looking forward to getting back on the field, playing ball and doing what I do. I'm a living witness that dreams can become your reality, you just have to believe; because your never to old to dream.

"A man's mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and make them sure"
(Proverbs 16:9)

Today I encourage you to search your heart and allow those God-given dreams to surface. You know the dreams that won't go away. You may have had it for years, but you still can't let it go. In fact, you may have tried to let it go, but it wont let go of you; yeah that one. God place those Desires which in Latin means "from the father", inside of you for a purpose, and He's going to use them to direct you into the destiny He has in store for you!
