Do you remember in April of 2008 when Jen and Trish planned “Nick Nischan Day?”
Several hundred people joined us at church for a special night of worship, Nick received a key to the city from our mayor, 
And NFL Player, Mike Furrey, flew from Detroit to Lexington and then rented a car so that he could drive another hour and a half to surprise Nick at the event???
Nick loved Mike Furrey, and Mike Furrey loved Nick. They shared a passion for football but most of all they shared the same favorite Scripture verse, Joshua 1:9.
Mike shared with the crowd that Nick was his hero and that Nick had changed his life…..
transforming him from a football player that happened to be a Christian into a Christian who happened to play football.
Well, our small town of Grayson and our small college where my husband teaches have had quite an exciting week!! 
Mike Furrey, who was injured this summer while training with the Washington Redskins, has been named the Head Football Coach at Kentucky Christian University!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are happy beyond words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just had to share this news.
The press conference is today. I will take lots of pictures!!!
I just love how God never stops working!
Oh, how I’d love to see the grin on Nick’s face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!

That is so cool 🙂
