Never a dull moment for sure! Mike and I attended the Gonzaga Prep game to receive Steve's retired jersey! It was quite a night!
34 was everywhere!
Steve even spoke at the game. That was so emotional. He loves this school and what it stands for.
As we received the jersey the crowd started chanting, NO WHITE FLAGS, NO WHITE FLAGS! A stadium full of people chanting that brought tears to my eyes! What a moment! Later the students made a huge 34 on the field. We were on the field so I didn't get a picture. The homecoming theme was heroes! Real life heroes!
There is a story here. The young man on the left came up to us and told us how much of an inspiration Steve is to him. He said he prays for Steve every day. He wanted us to know! His friends came up and echoed the same thing. The guy with the giant P on his chest asked if we could pray together for Steve. Of course we said, so we held hands over the condiments at the food stand and he prayed for Stephen. No one was worried about praying in public or around friends. Best moment of the night! They believe in a powerful God that can work miracles. So good to see! Thank you to all of you for a very special moment that topped off a memorable night! NO WHITE FLAGS!
