Could it be sitting in the mysterious 'moderating' drawer of your blog? Hmmm? Mike, I tried to send a message to you, but WordPress says I’d already sent it.

It was truly an experience. I attended one AHS/Cooper game (the first one AHS one in about 893 years), and it is still among the greatest sports experiences I have ever witnessed. About the young man who lost his life, I understand your statement, "Even though he wasn’t my blood relative, it felt like he was." On Monday, my wife and I said goodbye to a good family friend. He walked with my dad through a difficult time in his life. But even without that, he was a great, godly man. My family benefited from knowing him, and even though Shawna and I had only seen him and his wife 2 or 3 times in our ten years of marriage, we are both saddened by his passing. At 52, he was too young. But there is comfort in knowing his resting place. There is comfort in knowing how many lives he touched. I will pray for you and his family tomorrow. Mike,

FOOTBALL? Humpf! btw-Mike, what happened there between the Cards and the Astros? Ouch!!! But away from sports comments, my heart goes out to your brother and sister-in-law! May they find peace in God's promised presence and comforting healing. When I look at Pam's face I see that love and peace in her eyes. That's some special lady your brother married. My sympathies and hugs to all of you during yet another time of grief and mourning. football?? footBALL?? FOOTBALL? Humpf!

We did it all last year for our grandson Justin Young, for football and basketball. In addition we were traveling with a bored 11/12 year old grand daughter who wasn't too thrilled about the trip or the game, and a 5 year old also. We got to watch a lot of cinderella videos and sing all the songs from her DVD's. But it was great and we miss it a lot since Justin is now JV and we cant see him play while we are here in Zambia. If you mention football in Africa they think you are talking about soccer. We look forward to being able to see Justin and the rest of our grandkids next year when we come home on furlough. So Enjoy for us. Don and Laura Hi Mike

I was amazed at the high school football stadiums. Our son is the worship minister at the NorthPointe church in Murphy. They meet in a school where the stadium is larger and nicer than most small colleges. BTW: Had the best Mexican food ever at the Blue Goose Cantina! We were in the Dallas area last weekend.
