When faith and a dream come together
It began like any other day that morning in our 9th grade science class. Our teacher, Mr. Ott, was about to talk about the formaldehyde-soaked frogs we were to dissect. But then, he stopped and introduced us to a short young man with thick calves and a thicker baby-faced smile who had just walked in the door, seemingly out of nowhere.
He said he was Steve Davis and he was there to invite us all to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes meeting that was to be held that night in the auditorium. He was going to give a speech at the meeting.
Davis told us he had played high school football down the road at Sallisaw, but he was now a freshman in college. At OU, he said.
