Basket Ball!!!

Finally Brett is eligeible to play b-ball. He had to wait for a semester, so it is hard to get in the line up when you have been practising AGAINST your teamates all season long. It is so much fun to see him back on the court and having a good time. He has a great attitude, even though he has been having limited playing time. It has been 5 years since Brett has been on the court, since Seattle Christian.
It was 5 years ago that he broke his wrist right before playoffs and missed playing in State his Senior year. He is having a great time, getting a great education, and a great opportunity!! That should be enough GREAT---- for anyone!!! We are enjoying all the fun and the last few games of the regular season-just have to wait and see what playoffs bring!!

Concert

Last night Brian and I went to a Casting Crowns Concert. It was awesome, we had so much fun and the music was great, really love the message they have. They know how difficult it is to live in the world and yet not be of the world-the dilema we, or at least I have every day.

During two of their songs they had an artist 'paint'. He uses his hands and includes the message of the song and builds his art upon the words. Really it is so great to see in person, an usual talent.

The concert was an encouragement, Love it when I can 'feel' the bass resound in my chest!!

A worship service really.

Real life set back in today as Brian went out to be with a family whose loved one decided life was too difficult and stepped in front of a train-heartbreaking-how do you comfort those that are hurting so deeply.

Every day we touch lives of those who are hurting and in despair, my prayer is that God would use me and my limited self to touch the lives of those who need His love.

If you get a chance pray for this hurting family and for Brian to have wisdom as he ministers to them.

Life can be short-if I haven't said so--we miss you all and think of you often, we send our love to you.

Superbowl Sunday!!

I hate to admit it but I really don't care that much about football, now I know that many people are big fans--but me, I would rather watch College Basket Ball!
But not caring about football doesn't mean I don't like to have a Superbowl Party!!
I think we had between 25-30 people here today for the game festivities!!

It's a big MAN thing, Brian and his buddy gather all the dove they have hunted during the season and make a big deal out of stuffing the breast meat w/a sliver of jalepneo pepper and wrapping it in bacon then barbequing them and baking them with barbeque sauce. Everyone likes them but I have to admit again that it's not my favorite----
I did sleep though most of the 2nd quarter-that was enteraining.
This is the week that Brett is FINALLY eligible to PLAY!!
It has been a long wait and he has been a trooper-kept a great attitude and has worked hard.

So the next post will be all about b-ball.
