Why I’m Giving This Away
Ten years ago, I wrote this devotional and never did anything with it.
A great friend named Lynda encouraged me to write. Her friend Dot researched every scripture. Two simple women — no fanfare, no agenda — who believed in something before I did.
Lynda believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. She tried to get me to coach young women years before I ever considered it. I thought she was out of her mind. She was right.
Dot has since passed away.
This was originally written for athletes — as part of their daily discipline. But it’s for anyone who needs it. If you’re mentoring young people from any walk of life, pass it along. It’s free. It’s always going to be free.
This is my way of honoring two women who asked for nothing and gave everything. No pictures. No fanfare. Just a word for whoever needs it, wherever they need it.
