Arizona and Jeb

Well, I'm back. It is good to be home! I was sick with a cold the WHOLE time I was in Phoenix, so that was not any fun. On top of that, it was overcast and rainy everyday that I was there, so that was kinda a bummer also. You expect it to be sunny ANY time you go to Arizona, don't you?

As always, the highlight of my trip was being able to spend time with wonderful people who have Harding connections. As I have communicated before, I feel SO blessed to get to sit at the feet of these kind servants who are interested in the ministry we call "Harding". I always come away encouraged by just being around them. I wouldn't trade positions with anybody I know!

If I had to pick a particular visit that stood out from this trip, it would be the time I got to spend with Jeb Huckeba. For those of you who are not familiar with him, Jeb grew up here in Searcy and both of his parents work here at Harding. His dad, Ronnie, is a Bison football coach and his mom, Peggy, is Dean of Women. Jeb was an All-American High School football player here at Harding Academy, and then played college football for the University of Arkansas. He played his last season this past fall, and was honored as an All-SEC performer. Jeb is currently in Phoenix training for the NFL draft with several other young men who hope to play at the next level on Sundays this fall. For all his football abilities, those pale in comparison when you talk about the character of this Godly young man. Jeb knows football is temporary, and that his spiritual walk is eternal! Just to give you an example, we probably talked for close to 2 hours over supper one evening. Of those two hours, he wanted to talk about football about 15 minutes, and the rest of the time he wanted to talk about spiritual matters! With all the thugs and low-lifes you read about in association with the NFL and Professional sports these days, it is refreshing to know that there are still some Jeb Huckeba's out there! Maybe not many, but there are some. I know that Jeb is going to be light and salt for which ever team is lucky enough to draft him in a few months. He won't be perfect, but he will be a blessing to a lot of coaches and team mates! Isn't it fun to see people whom we love be able to be in high profile positions and impact the world for the Lord? The world will call him a "Success" if he makes it in the NFL. Jeb will tell the world he became a success long before he made it to the NFL, because of what took place 2 thousand years ago on a cross at Calvary......which is when we all became a success also.

Jebber, we are praying you get a chance to witness to the world what the "Good News" is! GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER!!

It will be exciting to see how God uses Jeb--if you have a front row seat, you may have to keep us posted! Of course, if he does make the team, he may be interviewed after some game giving God all the glory! Talk about Salt and Light!

Nice mug shot on the site, Mickey. I envy you getting to spend time with Jeb. He's a true ambassador in the kingdom. We need more spiritual mentors at the professional level for kids to look up to. Always a treat to get to spend time with him and his family. Glad your back safe from Phoenix.
