With a woman to look at culture from a Christian worldview on John Stone Street with the point,

after claiming the U.S. opens Women's Singles Championship this week at Lannaborne, Tennessee

star Coco Galfe, paused in the words of ESPN Sports Center to soak it all in.

What she was really doing was kneeling with eyes closed and head bowed, in other words

she was praying, or as she told reporters later, just saying thank you.

At 19, Galfe's only the third American teenager to win the U.S. open the most recent Serena

Williams back in 1999.

She broke onto the tennis scene by defeating Venus Williams at Wimbledon when she was only

15.

All the while her faith in Jesus Christ has been clear.

She told the New York Times last year she prays with her dad before every match, not

for victory, but for the good health of both players.

And she told reporters this week, I don't pray for results, I just ask that I get the

strength to give it my all.

Amen, that's a prayer we can also give.

With the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street.
