Bertrand Berry, NFL Football player
2. Other organized sports you have played
I have played basketball and ran track.
3. How do you think sportsmanship can be improved in your sport?
I think that the front office (Indianapolis Colts) has already done a nice job with this. Maybe a group prayer before and after a game with the opposing team.
4. Which one word would your coaches use to describe you?
Unselfish.
5. How has participation in athletics affected your character?
It has made me a tougher person and it has given me an inner fire and desire to be the best all the time at everything I do.

Deeper sense of forgiveness.
7. What do/did you find most difficult about dating?
Trying to figure out what someone likes rather than just asking them.
8. Why do you think abstinence before marriage is a good idea?
One, it is in God's plan and the bond that you and your wife or husband would create that night would be so powerful nothing could break it.

I think creating something together like art or pottery would be a great date.

It is a blessing from God. I love being married. She is my best friend and so much more to me. It is definitely the best thing to ever happen to me.
13. What advice would you give a friend thinking of marriage?
Make sure that God is at athe center of it, otherwise it will not work; and be friends first.
14. Why are you pro-life?
No life is an accident. We should learn to cherish life, not destroy it.

The fact that I've been so blessed in so many ways that I don't feel that I deserve everything I've been given.

Spread the good news about my God and help children as best I can.

The answer to all of these questions can be found in the bible. Anytime you have a question about something, the bible is your best reference. Take care and God bless.
