Taking Sports to a Higher Level
By Del Duduit I always consider myself open to learning new things, or even discovering a different angle. Most of us have preconceived perceptions because that’s what we were exposed to by our environment while growing up. A lot of times, opinions or points of view are adopted because “that’s just the way it is.”… Continue reading Who Needs Motivated?
By Del Duduit This week I submitted Vol. 2 of First Down Devotions: Inspirations from NFL’s Best, the fourth in a series of books to my publisher. It’s a good feeling to hit the send button, but it also is an indicator that more work is on the way. There will be edits to approve… Continue reading When the Shoe Fits
In honor of what would have been the 104th running of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing this past weekend, I want to re-run a post I published about attending a church service on Race Day in 2017 at the Brickyard.

He was not allowed to play in the streets, so he watched kids play soccer from his window. He… Continue reading Kia’s Amazing Journey
By Del Duduit The COVID-19 pandemic is taking its toll on the area businesses and communities. But it will not keep local kids in Southern Ohio from going hungry.

By Del Duduit I am halfway through the manuscript of First Down Devotions Vol. 2 that I will submit to my publisher in about a month. Last NFL season, I spent a lot of time at Cincinnati Bengals home games and talked to players who I thought would be a good fit for the book.… Continue reading Go to Nineveh
By Del Duduit He is a vital part of the Cincinnati Bengals, although some people might not know his name. LaMorris Crawford gives encouragement and inspiration to the team in the background and likes it that way. He spends time on his knees for them instead of in the huddle. I know that he holds… Continue reading Bengals Chaplain Kicks COVID-19
By Del Duduit This week, I started writing First Down Devotions: Inspirations from NFL’s Best Vol. 2, which is due to my publisher in June.
