The goalkeeper has a thankless position. Sure, occasionally, spectacularly they are the hero, stopping unlikely shots. Zac Macmath has stopped 3 PKs in the last two weeks. But then…. A forward can miss dozens of time, but “at least he is putting it on goal.” In their game this week, […]
We are still working out the details, but mark you calendars now! August 8th, 7 pm – An Evening with Penn State Athletics – Join Penn State coaches from a variety of sports and Union coaches and players too! The event will be held at The Union Club, PPL Park. August 9th, […]
This Lent I have been using the Magnificat app on my phone. I appreciated this reflection from Pope Benedict XVI: Holy Saturday is the day of the ‘death of God,’ the day which expresses the unparalleled experience of our age, anticipating the fact that God is simply absent, that the […]
A great season! Second Big Ten Regular Season champions, NCAA Sweet Sixteen, and final NCAA ranking: 12. Get ready for 2014!
“Something quite unexpected has happened. It came this morning early. For various reasons, not in themselves at all mysterious, my heart was lighter than it had been for many weeks…And, suddenly, at the moment when, so far, I mourned H. least, I remembered her best. Indeed it was something (almost) […]
Over on my blog I have been reflecting on how time passes in such odd ways. Today is Mack’s 10th birthday. He died just two weeks shy of his 9th, but they were 9 incredible, blessed years and we are thankful for them. Today our students are having the 2nd […]
It really would be impossible to thank everyone adequately for coming out to the clinic, but we will do our best. Thank you! Thank you all. It was wonderful to see so many kids there (over 100!) having such a great time with our Penn State players. The coaches of […]

Today I posted a reflection on our last full day of fun with Mack. You can find it on Targuman.org. We continue to be so thankful for the love and support that everyone has given us all year long and especially in these last days leading to this solemn anniversary. […]
When I was 8 months pregnant with Mack during Advent 2003 I read the Luke passages with renewed appreciation. Mary went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, who was pregnant with John. After Mack was born I read these passages to the kids and we always got a good chuckle out […]
Now that some colorful lights have been added for the holiday season I thought it might be nice to post a gallery of all the pictures of Mack’s Teepee at Park Forest Elementary. Thank you all for creating this wonderful, fun memorial.
Chris asked me if I could send a quote for the website about what the Mack Brady Fund has meant this year to the program. I don’t believe I can distill in a single quote all that the endowment has meant to our current team and coaches. It has meant […]
Luke 1:13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John. 14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, 15 for he […]
