Emphasis Preaching Journal

Milton Jacobi was 10 or 15 years older than I and he had graduated from a small state college. His major was athletics and math. He was agile, wiry, quick of step; he was skilled in wrestling, track, basketball and football. He had been his college's star quarterback as well as a first place winner in track events. I was among his students in our high school. Mr. Jacobi could lie on a big gym mat, flat down on his back and with one sudden and electric jab-of-body, he would be standing up straight. He showed us, in slow motion, what his muscles went through to do that.
