The Grandparenting Thing

If you picked all four #1 teams to get to the final four — well, you did well! I picked UNC to take it all. I still like that pick. Sure would have liked for Davidson to hit one more three at the end against Kansas!

I had a wonderful, quick trip to Pepperdine last week to speak in convocation with my sister-in-law Pam. I was once again impressed by the number of students there who have a passion for God’s mission in this world. I hated to miss the Tulsa workshop, though I sat it out as part of my attempt to regain sanity in my life — but I heard from my parents that it was strong.

This whole granddad thing is working for me. Some of you remember when this blog was about more than my granddaughter (significant things like guacamole, how to throw a two-seam fastball, etc.), but it’s been a while. This week I’m planning to discuss two very different books: one about Duane Allman (of the Allman Brothers Band) and one by N. T. Wright (of course!).

For now, here are a few pictures with the birthday girl.

    Happy Birthday REESE! I can validate the grandparenting thing. But, being Reese’s Aunt Lynn is pretty special too. This group of “kin” are very proud of the young Cope family as you can attest. God has, forever and again, blessed us all past, present and future.

    For me the interesting fact about the band is that they recorded near my home area in Muscle Shoals, AL at Fame Studios.

    Great pictures.

    Peace.

    As much good press as grandparenting gets, it is still highly underrated — IMO. : )

    Well, Steve, as you know, Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers.

    I met your parents at Tulsa last week. Sweet people. I hope things are going well for you and your family.
