Because my wife has threatened to out me if I did not mention something, here I go. I am leaving tomorrow headed to Tampa, Florida to attend a banquet put on by Family First. I will be receiving an award named after Tony Dungy's father (Wilbur L. Dungy). I am more than flattered and honestly humbled.
It is a bit overwhelming, as it feels somewhat like being handed the World Series Championship in the first inning of game 1. With that said, it is a great testament to my son and my God.
Ginny disagrees, but I feel as if I forfeit any dad status by leaving her and Hazel in their current state. I'll try to keep some updates coming on Twitter. Let me know if you have any good questions for Tony or Max Lucado.

Wow What an honor! Ginny should be proud! Enjoy your trip!
Is Tony enjoying life now that he's not coaching? I would bet so...
Matt! This is awesome!! Congratulations on an incredible honor of receiving this award. When I worked for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, we had Tony Dungy as our banquet speaker in 2004, and I became good friends with his Coaching Assistant at the time. I met Tony several times, as well as his family, and I can honestly say they are (pick your word) amazing...honest...real. I have also heard many Wilbur stories over the years and I know he was an outstanding man of God...father...friend. I hope you have a wonderful trip to Tampa!! Praying for Ginny and sweet Hazel while you are gone...

Matt and Ginny... you don't know me. I'm Anna's neighbor/friend, and I stalk your lovely blog. I gave you a little blogging award, over on my page, if you want to see. I think you are both amazing people. Such an inspiration... I had to give you a "shout out".
