“His team, the Los Angeles Rams, ended up winning the Super Bowl, and Kupp was named Most Valuable Player.

Flashback: Thy Word Is Not a MagLite

He was never without guidance, never without help, because he was never without the Word.

Life is not measured by the number of its years but by what one puts into the years.

—J.R. Miller
