It’s human nature to take for granted what we see or experience regularly. For instance, while living in Philadelphia, I grew accustomed to having great mom-and-pop pizza parlors on seemingly every corner.

When athletics chaplain Wes Yeary was hired last year, one of his charges was to help organize mission trips for Baylor’s student-athletes, as the former football letterman described in this Baylor Magazine feature. This month, Yeary is leading a 16-member team to Kenya for two weeks, where the group will work with existing ministries to […]
Baylor softball had a good week, following up a host of all-conference honors with the news last night that the program will be hosting an NCAA Regional at Getterman Stadium this weekend!

As we noted a couple of weeks ago, Baylor is tied for the conference lead with five Big 12 titles this season (and second in the league in conference championships over the past six years).

Former Baylor student-athlete Michael Johnson — widely considered the greatest long sprinter in the history of track and field — was announced last week as a nominee for the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame, and you can help him earn the honor.
