If a story about football brought tears to my eyes, you know it’s gotta be good.

Faith, indeed.
(I’m crying, too.)
I once lived down the street from the “other” Grapevine High School (NOT Grapevine Faith, but the local HS), and I can’t ever imagine their football team or supporters doing anything like this.
Very, very cool. It helps stave off the other negativity that sometimes surrounds the season.
Working in a prison as a counselor, I know there are a lot of forgotten people out there. We look at people with a record, and forget that they are God’s children. Nice to see that some can look past it and make a difference, especially for the lost youth of America.
Thanks, Julie!

Wow. I can’t remember the last time something I read online made me cry like this. What a neat story.
This girl doesn’t cry easily–I made it to the prayer, and succumbed. Thank you, Julie.
Football? Evangelical Christians? TEXANS? Me, cry?
Pshaw.

Great story. Thanks for sharing Julie.
Thank you, Julie. My wife will be crying shortly, just like I was.
Hello, Niagara.
Beautiful story, Julie. Thanks.
Are you KIDDING me? That is the greatest story EVER! I’m over here crying buckets and I hate sports.
Best football story ever. Thanks, Julie.
Time to make another inspirational, football movie.
Thanks for sharing.
Yup. Got me, too.
What a tremendous experience for those kids, and for the people who supported them.
