Enculturation - Definition: The methods used to assure a culture is passed on to another generation and thus considered to be the norm of a society.

Grant & Steelers Coach Bill Cowher discuss the next game day strategy!

Jeff (#44) at Steelers training camp- about 32 years ago!

 

Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old he will not depart from it."

There are many applications to this wonderful Biblical Truth. Some are certainly more of a priority that others. In Western PA, however, being a Pittsburgh Steelers fan is no doubt on the list somewhere!. Jeff's "training" began in the early 70's when his Dad used to take him to the Steelers' training camp. He has fond memories of their times together and getting to see the players up close.

Furloughs are for taking advantage of opportunities - doing some things that are impossible to do in Papua New Guinea. This month it included one of those trips to training camp. The family tradition continues!
