About Jayopsis

Hi, I’m Jay Mathews. I’ve spent more than thirty-five years coaching high school football and mentoring young people, and I’ve spent even longer walking with Jesus, raising a family, and trying to pay attention to the world with a grateful heart. I write here about the things that have shaped me most: faith, family, football, fishing, music, and the unexpected lessons woven into ordinary days. I’m a husband to Lisa, a dad to three wonderful daughters, and a proud grandfather. I’ve also been a teacher, an athletic director, a Sunday School leader, a storyteller, and now—somehow—a songwriter creating music with the help of AI. Most of what you’ll find on this blog is simply me reflecting on Scripture, sharing life experiences, wrestling honestly with the world, or chronicling the joys and struggles of a sixty-year-old man who still loves to learn. I started Jayopsis in 2004 and never expected that twenty years later I’d still be typing away.

A Good Disorientation- A Beneficial Distraction

The best part of Christmas break happened today.... I forgot what day it was. There was a significant amount of time today where I did not know the time and I did not know the day and best of all, it did not matter the time or day- and for you smart aleks out there- I was sober.

This has been a good break. Been reading a little theology by John Frame- working on a few power points for school- watching football and drawing a few plays- eating, sleeping, a little exercise- but mostly just hanging with the family and having a good time.

I am very grateful to God for all He has given me. Ready for a big 2010.
