Jaguars
God is so good to our flag football program! We have had many Jaguar players as guest speakers at halftime, over the last three years and all of them have been exceptional, like Paul Frase, Tom McManus, Kyle Brady and Jeff Loggerman! Last week, we were very blessed to have our former Jacksonville Jaguar quarterback, David Garrard come out and speak to our players. He is good friends with Kyle Brady who is one of our coaches. David thought he was just coming out to speak to Kyle’s team. He was a little surprised to find out he was our halftime speaker!
I was pretty stunned at how awesome he was. He was such a passionate speaker and preached the gospel! He has an awesome testimony of getting saved in a fast food restaurant with the team chaplain! I told him afterwards that I think he may be called to be a preacher because he was so anointed! He couldn’t have been nicer to all the kids and to the star-struck parents. I thought one Dad was going to break down and cry when he was talking to David. It was hilarious, “Its a true honor to meet you! You are one of the greats….” He signed footballs, jerseys and took a ton of pictures with people. He brought his little boy with him who was adorable and Bonnie and her friends babysat him while David spoke!
I sure wish things could have worked out different for David Garrard and the Jags. He is such a fine representative for our team and our city. Not to get the haters all going but it would have also been nice if we would have drafted Tim Tebow. I kind of think that Jack Del Rio may not be on the staff of the Broncos had Tim been with the Jags. Everyone knows he doesn’t throw the football properly but the intangibles of faith and leadership could have made a huge difference for our Jags. I pray that the new owner and coaches will make the Jaguars a winning team and will also recruit fine examples like David Garrard!
