School has pretty much started for everyone. This is the start of year 14 for me. I got started late in life. I have been in Student Ministry for 45 years! Love students! What's the saying, if you love what you do then it's not a job? Haha something like that. Hey, I don't have to do what I do, I GET TO DO what I do. Your turn now...Drop a favorite coaching pic and let us know what year you are starting.
