Friday night!

Friday night: I went to Spank's game at Heber. After their victory over the HS Panthers the team was in their huddle out on the field getting their post-game speech from Coach Tribble. Everyone in the stands was SILENT! 'cause we all wanted to hear what he had to say. Everyone, except the band director - she was trying to give her band people directions on what they were to do with their pants and their horns before getting on the bus. Anyway, after the speech the team was lead in a team prayer (later I found out that it was the superintendent that lead the prayer. I'll tell you more about that later) anyway, the band director kept talking during the entire prayer. HOW RUDE!!! Anyway, I was fuming... sister, mom, and Mrs. Tammy started encouraging me to go over and say something to her after it was all said and done.. next thing I knew I was standing next to Ms. Church, the band director telling her how rude and disrespectful she is/was. WOAH! I was very polite and just ask her that next time would she please show the Coach and GOD some respect by shutting her mouth and bowing her head! Yeah, I really did! When I turned around to go back to my so called supporters who pushed me to stand up to her, they (mom, sister, tammy) were already headed to the car! Whatever happened to "I got your back"?? The more I thought about the fact that the team was led in prayer by a school official the more I felt like I needed to let them know that I supported their public prayer 100%. So, I sent them an encouraging pat on the back this week hoping that they will continue to stand up for God. It makes me proud to know that Greenbrier Schools are lead by Christian leaders. What a stand to be the NEW coach and superintendent and not afraid to lead a team in prayer in front of everyone at the game. Come to find out Coach Tribble prays with them before and after each game, win or lose!
