“Honor such men, for Epaphroditus nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me.” Philippians 2:29–30

Risk is honorable.

The Head Ball Coach, Steve Spurrier is a legend at Florida. In 1966 he won the Heisman trophy as the Gators QB and then in 1996 led the Gators to their first ever National Championship.

He is the only person ever to win the Heisman then a National Championship as a coach.

Quick rule of thumb:
If someone you like does something appalling, let’s just say it is a really famous person or something, and your immediate reply is to say “it’s fake / he didn’t do or say that,” but THEN, you find out this person DID do it, and your next response is to pivot and instead defend it, well, you may be struggling with some inner strength type of issues …

Chipper and Andruw Jones. The two hall of famers are top in Braves history in hits, home runs, and games played.

We are saddened by the passing of former Braves third baseman Bob Horner.

The first overall pick in the 1978 MLB Draft, Horner made the jump straight to the Majors without playing a single day in the Minors.

Just ten days after being drafted, Horner made his MLB debut and homered off future Hall of Famer Bert Blyleven. Horner went on to blast 23 home runs in just 89 games and won NL Rookie of the Year honors.

He went on to top the 30-homer mark three times in the next four years and was a National League All-Star in 1982, when he helped lead the Atlanta Braves to a division title.

Horner spent 9 of his 10 Major League seasons with the Braves. He made history on July 6, 1986 when he slugged a record-tying 4 home runs in one game. It was the only four-homer game of the 1980s.

Horner completed his college career at Arizona State with the most home runs in NCAA history, a mark since broken. He was named MVP of the 1977 College World Series and was the very first winner of the prestigious Golden Spikes Award in 1978.

He was 68 years old.

The technology has changed, but one thing has remained the same: showing up when our community needs it most.

Happy 138th Birthday to the Reno Fire Department and the generations of firefighters who’ve helped protect the Biggest Little City!

Happy Birthday to the Biggest Little City!
Reno has looked a lot of different ways over the last 158 years.

Different streets. Different skylines. Different stories.

But what’s always made our city special is the Renoites who call it home.
