TONY DUNGY

Last night Kenny and I went and saw Tony Dungy speak at the church we go to, Christ United Methodist. If you don't know Tony Dungy is the Super Bowl winning head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. In the past year Tony has put out a book called Quiet Strength. Kenny received the book from my step mom for Christmas. The book has been such an inspiration to so many people, especially men that a men's bible study has also been written to coincide with the book.

Coach Dungy's speech was very good, and had a great point that really made you think. It was all about the difference in having goals in life and having a purpose in life and how God should be your purpose in life. He was a great speaker. It was really exciting to see such an important person in sports history speak about something so personal to him.

Once the service was over the church had made a big deal about how Coach Dungy would not be signing autographs afterwards and most people left. A few people stayed behind to take some pictures with him and get autographs. Kenny and I just watched from a distance. Kenny had brought his book just in case but we really did not want to bother him or seem pushy.

After a few minutes we left and were headed towards Kenny's car when here comes Tony. He is with some security but no fans were around and Kenny just had to take the oppurtunity. Kenny did not have a pen!!!! So Kenny asked Coach Dungy, "Hey you wouldn't happen to have a pen would you?" Coach Dungy said I do but you are going to have to walk with me because I do not want to get in trouble for signing more autographs. I stayed back as I watched my husband walked off with the Super Bowl winning coach of the Indianapolis Colts. It was really neat.

Kenny had a brief conversation with Tony while he signed Kenny's book and then here comes Kenny grinning ear from ear.
