Two outstanding young men

For those who don't follow football, Alabama won the CFP National Championship on Monday night in an overtime thriller. I realize that not everyone is an Alabama fan, and that is certainly each individual's prerogative. However, if you listened to post game interviews, you can't help but be fans of Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa.

Jalen Hurts had been Alabama's starting quarterback for the last two seasons. He has lost only two games in those two seasons. However, he had struggled recently, especially in big games, and Monday was no different. So, to start the second half, Nick Saban, Alabama's coach, decided it was time to make a change and put Tagovailoa in as quarterback. And, history was made.

Tagovailoa led the Crimson Tide to a victory after they trailed by thirteen twice. He threw an incredibly impressive forty-one yard touchdown pass to a true freshman, in overtime, for the victory. Tagovailoa is a true freshman himself. It was quite impressive.

Today's word is Micah 6:8, NLT, which reads, "No, O people, the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what He requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your GOD."

In the post game interviews, Jalen Hurts, who had been benched for an underclassman, had nothing but praise for the way Tagovailoa played. As a matter of fact, he cheered him on from the sideline and encouraged and coached him at every opportunity. Tagovailoa praised GOD for the opportunity and his teammates for standing strong and making plays.

Both, Hurts and Tagovailoa, were very humble and gracious. Both are believers. Both displayed today's word exemplary. We can all learn something from these two outstanding young men.

Be Blessed,
