                               Landmark Eagles Lose Biggest Fan

     The Landmark Eagles lost their biggest fan on Tuesday, February 26, 2008.  Mark Cottings (Sondra Head's father) passed away as we were heading down to the national tournament in Tennessee. Sondra immediately headed home, but Eric ("Papaw would want me to finish this"), Devon and Tom went on with the Landmark Teams.

After the championship, we were given a banner, a four-foot trophy, plaques, and T-shirts as our rewards. A large crowd applauded for us, the tournament winners. The rewards and applause were nothing, however, compared to the heavenly awards and the applause of angels for a man who had finished. The exciting reality is that the rewards in heaven are not just for those who win, but for all who finish. According to Scripture, Mark's awards include: The Crown of Righteousness ("I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now, there is in store for me the Crown of Righteousness"); The Crown of Life ("Blessed is the man who perserves under trial, because when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life"); The Crown of Glory ("And when the Chief Shepherd appears you will receive the Crown of Glory that will never fade away"). What a great day for Mark!
