My Field of Hope – Revisited
Perhaps my experience will remind you, too, of the tremendous value of the relationships with our partners; and how their presence remains a constant, no matter the challenges we face.
Showing Them the Way
Be There Dad has consistently promised not to take a side on political matters. However, we have consistently pledged to support and encourage the core values of our dads and their families – what it means to be an American and how to respect others.
The Gift We Give Each Other
The holidays. A season when there seems to never be enough time to get everything accomplished. Most of us are busying looking for just the right gifts while we try to spend time with the ones we love. I wonder if those two objectives can come together. Maybe this Christmas, the best gift we can give is our time
Thankful and Praying for Courage
Those who know me and “Coach Jeff” will affirm that I see the glass half full. Many of you would go further and suggest that my glass is overflowing with optimism. I often say, “I have pitched my tent in the land of hope.” Acts 2:26. But in the year of 2020, even I have wondered how we keep up that optimism.
Proximity
When I became a coach, I taught my youth soccer team the same concept. Spread the field. Keep your spacing. Don’t get too close to each other. Spacing is critical to success in basketball, as well – on both ends of the court.
Taking One More Step
As we look forward to 2020, Be There Dad understands that our success depends on our willingness to believe. We will continue to believe what the data, research and our own experiences have shown us – that the power of presence works.
