David RoySometimes hearing the stories of other people's lives is just so inspiring. Since I'm a hockey fan, learning about the lives of people involved in my favorite sport is always interesting. David Roy, a skating coach who has worked for NHL teams like the Philadelphia Flyers and Dallas Stars, as well as the Canadian National Team and Canadian Women's Olympic Team, describes what it was like when a tsunami hit during his vacation in Thailand in 2003:

I remember that day very clearly, that day when 186,983 people died and 42,883 went missing. People started running and screaming …

He also describes what his faith means to him:

Jesus offers me forgiveness and a better life, not an easier life, but a better life. Jesus said, “Seek first his kingdom and his righteous” in Matthew 6:33. The words spoke to me as never before. My worries about accomplishing my future plans in hockey, artwork and law were gone. Those things didn’t matter anymore compared to having a relationship with God. I felt a sense of freedom. I was free and didn’t have to worry; I just wanted to live for God.
