This is my first time. I have recently been inspired to create a blog by a couple of my friends. It was appealing to me because they have used their blogs as expressional outlets.
As you can tell by the title of my blog site, I am a basketball coach by profession. I am currently coaching at Abilene Christian University in Abilene Texas. I am a native Michigander living it up in a relatively warm state. I was brought down to Texas by a good friend who at the time was the Head coach here at Abilene Christian (ACU). I am also currently working on my Master's degree in Special Education, although I have no desire to teach in a school setting. I am one of those few people in this world that view coaching basketball as a teaching profession. I love working with the kids that I work with on a daily basis, and I love being paid to sit on the sideline watching a sport I truly love.
I have been married for 7 years to a beautiful woman name Alyson. We are expecting our first child at the end of March. It is a boy. We do not have a name yet. We are both very excited about becoming parents, but we are scared at the same time. While we are rejoicing in the prospect of a new child, we are also concerned because my wife has just recently been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. We are fortunate to have caught the Cancer in Stage I. My beautiful wife is going to have to go through Chemo-therapy beginning sometime soon after Christmas. She is a strong woman with unbreakable spirit. She is quite an amazing person and I do not know what I would be or what I would do without her.
I think that is enough for my first time, I guess now I can say that I have been published.

So glad you started a blog. Great way to get news out to far away friends. Who is the friend that drug you down to TX? My only regret is not getting to coach and hang out w/ you anymore. Please know that you, Aly and the little one are constantly in our thoughts. In fact, Rachel, Abbey, Dad and I, along with our entire small group prayed over your family tonight. Hang in there and enjoy every moment with Aly. I'm sure your now well aware of the things that are really important in life.
Your Friend,
Klint
Dear Brian and Aly,
While we don't "know" you, we know of you. And, we have observed your faith and good deeds and service to the cause of the kingdom. We have been praying for you in St. Louis ever since Klint shared the news with us. I am thrilled you have entered the blogging world! Klint gets credit for both of us now. I know that these trials and tribulations will make you stronger in your faith and deepen your relationship with the one who made you. We are praying that God's will be done in your lives for His glory. Keep us all posted!
Grace and Peace,
