C.J. Mahaney writes on Art Monk's speech upon being inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame:
The quiet sports star stepped in front of thousands of fans and used the moment, not for self-congratulation, but to glorify God. Standing beside a bronze bust of himself, his speech is no celebration of human achievement, but of amazing grace. In a place built to enshrine human achievement, Monk reminded us all of human weakness.Read the whole thing.

As if I didn't respect C.J. enough already, he talks about being a Redskins fan!
But seriously, it blows my mind when I think about the godly men that were a part of that redskins team. I remember seeing a tract that the believers on that team put together and between players and coaches, there were about 25-30 redskins on the cover.
It was certainly a great weekend to be a redskins fan.
I saw Monk's speech. It was the best. What a genuine servant of the Lord.
I remeber when the Redskins back then had to play the Lions in the play-offs, one of the Head Lines read, "Lions are tossed to the Christians".
That was very encouraging to read. Very encouraging.
