Czechs in Texas

It seems as if my time in Prague was a different life.  SO much has changed in my world since then.  I think back on Prague as a time that was precious, hard, full, challenging, and left me forever changed.  I met some amazing people.  One of those amazing people was my director, Billy Crossan.  Billy is one of the smartest men I know.  He is the picture of a man compelled to share the love of God too all people of all nationalities at all times.  He's someone that if you spent even a quick coffee or afternoon with you will have left changed.  Everyone should be so lucky to know someone like this.

This fall Billy led a group of Czech basketball coaches on a coaching clinic through Texas universities.  They met with different coaches on several campuses throughout Texas.  Travis and I hosted a dinner at our houses for the Czechs.  None of them had been in a US nationals house before. It was fun to be around Czechs again, and get to introduce them to some US food.  It was a bit surreal having to worlds come together.  I loved being able to introduce Travis and Billy.  Such a special time, and great memory!
