He is the God of many chances, and where He leads I will follow.<\/p>\n<p>What I try to be is a Christian who is a coach, not a coach who happens to be a Christian. So when I believe God is telling me to take a rest and spend time with Him, I try and do it. There are lots of folks who the Lord could get to do what I was doing. I hear Him saying that He wants more of me &#8211; actually ALL of me. That doesn&#8217;t mean I am going to be a monk, or that I wasn&#8217;t committed to Him, but that I need to step away and spend more uncluttered time with Him. At the end of the day the Lord wants us, not what we do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Mid:<\/strong> Are there any offers on the table?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bogan: <\/strong>I have no other offers, and will simply trust that He holds my future &#8211; because He does.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Mid:<\/strong> Will you miss being away from the players?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bogan:<\/strong> Heck, everyday 140 other seniors come to my American Government classes, so I am still in the &#8220;people processing business.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>(More with Bogan in the coming days and weeks)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Mid Valley Sports had a short Questions &amp; Answers exchange with Steve Bogan, here\u2019s part of it.)
