Captains

Hey y'all! Hope the month of April has been very well as hockey season in youth hockey and junior hockey are coming to an end. After a very long season playing this sport, we rely on our coaches, older players on the team with playoff experience and most importantly, captains. I believe as much as coaches can change a locker room mentality, a captain can set the pace on the ice and is willing to be in the good and bad moments and help lead their team to succeed.  In the bible, there are many ‘captain’ figures leading others. Starting in the beginning of the bible with the story of Abraham. He led his people out of slavery and oppression with God’s guidance. Joseph Leads by his endurance of circumstances that came up against him, being sold to slavery by his brothers, being imprisoned to being the second man in command of the empire. Another is king David and his way to win battles and wars for God and his people. Jesus Christ, most importantly being a servant and a great leader...

Christian cup

  This week is the Christian cup, a camp for FCA Hockey I usually can’t make, but this year I got to play on the FCA Dragons. This team was filled with almost all of the Northstar and FCA Hockey front office which is know as the toughest office in the league. To start of the weekend we lost 9-7 but had a big comeback being down 6-1 at one point. Saturday morning we won 8-1 that bid us into the championship game Sunday morning. Then a great testimony from Bobby Robbins, a great man of God and a strong man. He shared his sinful past and his hockey past that is now glorified through Jesus Christ and now uses him testimony to spread the gospel to whoever he encounters. After that we played a mix-match game with a team and I became a Nordique! Then Sunday morning at 7am, we played the Knights again, the 1st team we lost to filled with u18 active Northstar Knights players. We won the final game 5-4.       The topic of the weekend is the 10 traits of a Godly Man...

Pre-Game Music

  This week I’ll be covering music and how it has certainly changed the way I live my life for God and using it to glorify him. We all have been in the rinks, locker rooms or tailgates of music that sounds pleasing, fun and catchy; but at some point in that moment do you try to find God's message? Many songs these days speak against God and we may not know it.  Personally, I try my best to influence others with my music taste with Christian music, worship, christian rap and hymes. I have 100% scared teammates with my music choices and stir up questions of why don't people experience music like I do? For the message, not for the pleasure. I for one dont wanna listen to song speopking about lust, distruction, iggurance, murder, lies and a laundry list more not only before playing a game, but approaching life with that music being so influential, that it can and has made me fall short. I’ve recently watched a Netflix film called, A Week Away, that brought back some fun memo...

Rest Days

For hockey players, staff and parents; hockey rest days are few and far in between during the long seasons. Long night, bus rides, fast food we “don't” make time to just rest in God's presence. I can tell you one thing for sure, we can get a fair share of naps but wake up restless, irritated, pressured, not truly resetting. I fall victim to this way of living all the time. Even though a healthy amount of work is put in to relieve my stress, it still lingers in the back of my mind. You can read the 1st chapter in the bible and you’d read that even God rested on the 7th day of creating everything and the heavens. Throughout the old testament Jews practiced the Sabbath day to be in God's rest and presence. Jesus slept during a raging storm at sea.  When Jesus went back to heaven he sat at the right hand of God. Examples on top of examples of rest in many different forms, but which is accurate to current day? “4 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest stil...

The Faithful

   Watch this video above before reading. The Boston Bruins have been known to have one of the most loyal fanbases in all of hockey. Not only with hockey but all their sports (Celtics, Red Socks, Patriots). This commercial was made before the 2018 Stanley cup playoffs and intrigued me in 2 different ways. One with how quiet that church was and I am at fault like this man of watching hockey during church, another is being a ‘fan’ no matter where you are or what you're doing.     This was 100% a convection of mine being distracted by what I want to do. I’ve recently learned instead of asking what did a person do wrong, I start asking myself what did I do wrong? It's an honest question in everyday life and my walk of faith. It’s hard to do the right thing and easy to do the wrong thing. But God called us to be doers of the word, Otherwise your just fooling yourself (James 1:22). We need to find a way to stay active and find good in everything we do. Hebrews 12:2 says, “...
