Fall Sports...

Ryan and Evan are excited to be playing flag football this year! Harvest Baptist Church in Wapak has an Upward program, and so far it has exceeded our expectations as a quality, Christian program for young athletes. Greg and I have been seeking out ways to provide outlets for our children to pursue their interests without compromising the values that we daily strive to develop within them. The boys both have a natural athletic ability, and Greg has spent a lot of time with them in developing these abilities.
We are committed to keeping our children in environments that promote Godliness and quality Christian character. Anything that would hinder their minds or hearts from these two objectives is not acceptable. Believe me...it's not always the easy road. Many people can't understand why those who believe like us would turn down "free" stuff (education, sports, etc.). They don't understand that a tender, young plant must be sheltered until it is strong and mature. Only at that point is it ready and able to survive outside influences without internal or external damage. So...I'm thankful for Upward. It is a great program, and we are thrilled to be involved!
Since the boys are not in the same grade, they could not be put on the same team, so...Evan has practice on Tuesday, Ryan on Thursday, and games are Saturday mornings...quite the schedule!
