Do your part to help out in the
community!
|
From
the time I was a teenager about to head off to college, I
had a strong passion for helping others. Not just the underprivileged,
but any and everyone who had a need - spiritual, emotional, medical or
just simply in need of direction. Being drafted to the National Football
League was more than a privilege and an honor, but also a
responsibility.
NFL players are required to give back through community service and
other social activities. I have to admit that next to sacking a
quarterback on a rain-soaked field, being an active member of the
community was my favorite part of being a member of this illustrious
association.
That passion did not fade when I retired from the NFL, but instead burns
stronger everyday. I praise God for each opportunity to support and
uplift the lives of others. I am still very active in the community,
giving my time as often as possible to various causes, especially
children's causes.
I encourage you to support charitable activities in your own community.
Choose a cause that is close to your heart and jump in! It doesn't take
money to help. Just be willing to give your time and talents and allow
the Lord to move you and use you! He will do the rest! |
