If you haven’t heard the story of Ed Thomas, former coach of the high school football team in Parkersburg, IA, check out this video. This is such an incredible story because it really shows how a person can be so passionate about something, for Ed it was football, and yet leave a legacy of faith and grace that goes far beyond that.
It makes me think about so many people I’ve met who God’s given incredible gifts in an area- music, art, cooking, teaching, business, the list goes on an on. And they’re passionate about using that gift- I love that, but if the gift isn’t recognized and used to glorify God and help people understand God’s grace, something falls a little short. In this video, we hear of how Ed Thomas helped young men love football but also learn about life and God, and how even in his death he kept teaching lessons about grace.
