In the late 1960s in Ruston, Louisiana, two Bulldog quarterbacks’ life paths diverged sharply. You might have heard of Terry Bradshaw, who went on to attain the top pick in the 1970 NFL Draft, a lengthy career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, four Super Bowl victories, a spot in the Hall of Fame and a second career in front of the camera. You might not have heard of Phil Robertson, who was ahead of Bradshaw on Louisiana Tech’s depth chart but gave up football with one year of eligibility remaining because the game and any future in it interfered with his heart’s dearest passion: duck-hunting season.

God lead Phil and Phil followed..
God plants ideas, if your tuned in to him, you can lead a very happy happy happy life.
I watched a interview with Terry Bradshaw about this situation. He said he agreed that Phil should be starting at QB while Phil was at Louisiana Tech. Terry had nothing but good things to say about Phil.
I’m not sure I would have done the same if I had been in his situation.
I have always wondered what a soldier of God meant. i think i am beginning to understand.
nice background piece.
Thanks for the post.
Great story - I’m convinced the Lord uses my life as warning to everyone around me, ‘never try this’ ... Lord, I have so many near death experiences ...
Me either..
But I have found myself more in tune with what I call my “gut” than I was back when I was in college.
Now when it says to do something, and I do it. I come out ahead. If I don’t do it, but pay attention, I realize I missed out.
When it says not to do something and I do it, I fail badly.
It seems like the more connected I am to those feelings, the better off I am.
It’s hard to explain, but I highly doubt those feelings are created by me.
LOL, well I guess I am the backup for you.

Bfl
how so? I find the closer I get to Him, the harder things are, what am I doing wrong?
I saw that interview on youtube... blew me away with how sincere and humble Bradshaw was about the relationship he had with Phil as 2nd string QB. “Blond Bomber? Ducks are flying... ducks are flying high today”.
Great stories. Just search “Bradshaw Leno Duck Dynasty” in youtube and it comes up as the top “hit”.
Oh man, that’s a RIOT!
Sounds like you’re doing it right!
