Winning Ways
They said I was too small, that I didn't have the strength, that I wouldn't cut it. It has been tough. Sometimes I still feel that I don't have the height or strength to go out and compete against the bigger guys.

Beyond the Brass Ring
My dad thought I was born to play basketball. When I was seven years old, he sat me down and said, ‘Pete, if you will let me teach you basketball, maybe one day you will play on the professional level as I did. Maybe you will be on a team that wins the world championship, and they will give... >Read More

New Beginnings
There I was, alone in my tiny residence room, crying at 3am. Things like this just did not happen to me! I'm an educated, modern, rational person! How did my life come to this?

Although I grew up in a home that believed in God and went to a school that taught about God, I thought that these sexual practices would give me... >Read More

Congratulations on your decision!
How to Know That You are Filled with the Holy Spirit

Strength of Character
Right from the start, it was obvious that Catherine Reddick had talent. Her five-year-old soccer team was all boys except for three girls. Catherine scored five goals in one game. The other girls were skipping and acting silly, but not Catherine. Catherine was playing hard and she wanted to win.
