If Jesus were a football player, he'd play fair, he'd play clean,
and he'd put the guy across the line on his butt.

What years did he play at LU?

Barry Rice is an awesome man. He was the middle school Pastor for a number of years (I served under him when I was in my undergrad).

He left TRBC to start a new church outside of Orlando.

The church is called Greater Orlando Church (Go Church) http://gochurch.org/

Barry played during the Morgan Hout years and I think one year under Sam. An absolute anchor on the offensive line. Probably a little short for NFL standards but otherwise a great lineman. Definitely, one of the strongest men, physically and spiritually, to play at LU.

I believe that quote - the first one, not the second - was in Time magazine.

It was Sports Illustrated.

I am so glad to hear where Barry and Christina are!! I emailed them and am glad to be back in touch.

I read that first quote and thought "Hey, that was from SI!!!". Yep, I was right. That was an awesome article, tucked away in my LU scrapbook.

Thanks for the info!!!
