“They throw the ball, and free outdoors, so I’m in. My parents and I never discussed the religious side of things.”
SANDY — Ty Detmer doesn’t remember ever having prayed alone before his mother signed him up for a three-day Bible school with their Methodist church when he was 10-years-old.
Early one morning on that trip, though, the counselors told attendees to go to a place where they could be alone. Detmer found a small stream and sat on some nearby rocks. The sun was just coming up, and the humidity was that of a typical Texas day.
