| I bounced around from one assistant job to another, and in 1972, while coaching at the University of Arkansas, God put me together with a small, unassuming Sunday School teacher from Fayetteville. His name was George Tharel, and I was intrigued by him -- as much by his life as his teaching. He was a man at peace with himself and with God.
Being driven was one of my strengths, but I envied people who could relax and enjoy life. By looking at his life, I started to see that there was another game plan besides the world's. God's plan was not based on money, position and winning football games. God was only concerned about me having a right relationship with Him. And even though I had become a Christian as a 9-year-old, I had never made God a priority.
George helped me see that, and so one night in church I went forward and confessed in my heart, "God, I've known you since I was 9 years old, but I have not been living for you. Tonight I want to rededicate and commit my life to you." As I began to live that you, it became evident that my life was different. Some of the changes were immediate, but others have been a process.
It is the attitude of your heart that is important. If you already know Christ, but you're like I was before 1972 and have not made Him first priority in your life, take a minute to pray right now and rededicate your life to Him.
