What I Didn't Know about Billy Donovan

Tonight as I was watching the Final Four Show on CBS before the Butler-VCU game. CBS did an absolutely amazing piece on Billy Donovan, Anthony Grant and John Pelphrey and a unique bond that ties them—and it isn’t basketball. Despite all being coaches in the SEC, they all experienced the death of a child during pregnancy. All three couples talked with strength and authenticity. What a beautifully done piece.

If you can track down the video or DVR'd the pre-game show, make sure you watched it. If not, you can at least read about it here: http://www.thepostgame.com/features/201101/billy-donovans-secret-sorrow.

UPDATE:  I did want to add that I don't think that the theology expressed is entirely helpful but wanted to highlight what community can do and be for one another.  In worship this morning, our pastor said, "Jesus doesn't offer reasons, he offers his presence."  I don't think any reason is entirely helpful in times of deep grief, but God does offer God's presence faithful and unending.
