Coach and tattoes

     It did not take long for Bennett's own thankfulness to be tested. Shawn Hood informed him that Sam would be showing up for the game with a tattoo. Shaking his head slowly, he furrowed his brow, squinted his eyes and whispered, "What? He is getting a tattoo?" Shawn laughed at Bennett's response and added, "Yeah, he is getting a cross and the Bible passage Isaiah 40:31 tattooed on his right shoulder."

    Bennett's reaction was tempered by the fact that he had given Okey the passage. "He loves that one. I gave that to him." He then smiled and shook his head in disbelief. "The Lord does not need to be glorified in that way."
