Request For Prayers and Get-Well Cards

Vince Sutton was not a star on the University of Alabama football team during the years 1984 to 1988.  He was the back-up quarterback, a substitute, the player who goes into the game if the primary player is injured or if the game has long-ago been won (or lost).  He played sparingly in 21 of the 56 games played during his time at the university.  His shining moment was when he was put into a game in 1988 and led his team to a come-from-behind win against the University of Kentucky.

Sutton has said that he loved every moment of his time at the university and, like most college athletes, he declares that his experience was positive, teaching him the values of hard work, discipline, personal responsibility, and how to deal with adversity.

Sutton, now the head football coach at Dawson Street Christian School in LaGrange, Georgia (USA), is now facing adversity of a sort he never encountered in college.  His kidneys have failed and he is on a waiting list to receive a kidney transplant.

Former teammates and coaches have pitched in to help Sutton.  What he is asking for from the public are prayers and get-well cards.  This blog has readers from eighty-seven countries.  If many of the readers would pray for Vince Sutton and/or send him get well wishes it might really boost his spirits as he waits.
