FCA Retreat-Coach Steckel

Ryan and I were able to go to an FCA(Fellowship of Christian Athletes)retreat this last weekend. Ryan just got involved in this program back in September. It is a great program! I wasn't quite sure of what the weekend was going to hold, but was excited non the less! A weekend away with my hubby?? What could NOT be fun about that??! :)
Thanks to Robby and Rachel and my mom for watching the kids, we were able to get away and have a great time!
Coach Les Steckel and his wife Chris were the speakers at the retreat. If you haven't heard of them(I definitely hadn't)he was a former NFL coach for many years. He also coached College FB and a couple years his son in highschool. He had been a coach for for 32 years. He and his wife have been married 36 years and were such an inspiration and encouragemnt to all of us coaches and coaches wives that were there at the retreat! They had such a testimony to tell, of all the ups and downs(he was fired many times in his career)in coaching, marriage and life! Such a great story and such a neat couple! We had a great time meeting them and getting to visit with them and hearing all about their life and how Christ is the center of all they do! We learned alot as a couple and I also learned ALOT more about football! I am pretty sure that was husbands dream couples retreat! Talking about football! LOL We were blessed and are so thankful we were able to go! :)
