ESPN's highest ranked college football catch in history was made by Tyrone Prothro. The Catch, as it came to be called, would earn the alabama wide receiver fame, a following, and awards to accent a stellar career. Two weeks after making The Catch, Tyrone broke both the major bones above the ankle of his left leg in a heartwrenching accident. despite enourmous pain, as he was wheeled out of the stadium on a stretcher, he lifed his arms in the air and cheered on his team--a moment in sports history that filled the stadium with applause and brought tears to the eyes of millions of viewers everywhere. As a player, Tyrone would never return to the game of football, but he continues to excel at the game of life.

The go-ahead man must understand the purpose of a wife, and he must realize that marrying a woman does not make her a wife. The go-ahead man must also obey God and do as God have commanded him; this is why he needs a help meet. If the man is not doing what God has commanded him, he doesnt need a help meet: lets face it, men, we dont need help when we are not doing anything; he can do that all by himself. In a Christian marriage we must understand that God created the union of marriage and he knows what it takes to make it work. Every man has the ability to be a go-ahead man, all he needs is himself. What something is worth will be determined by what someone will give for it. Just like Christ gave himself for the church? The go-ahead man gives himself for the marriage. The man must understand that he is the head, not because he is smarter, stronger, or because he is a good provider: he is simply the head because thats what the Word of God said. The mans failure to function as the head is a lack of belief in Gods Word. As Christians we must realize who the real enemy is. One thing that the go-ahead man must get very skillful at, especially when relating to his wife, is recognizing when Satan comes into the conversation. Satans desire is to destroy the union of marriage. I believe the reason that destruction of the marriage is so high on Satans priority list is because Satan knows if he destroys the marriage then he can disrupt the church, and if the church is not in place, then he can win a community and finally a nation. But I thank God that Satans plan will not work because Jesus said in Mark 10:9, What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
