Looking To The Weekend

A few things to look forward to this weekend...

First off, the kids and the wife are headed out to the big Block Party at Kaitlyn's school. This is an annual event they do every fall where they bring out all kinds of bounce houses, burgers & dogs for folks to eat, plenty of games, some raffles and auctions and of course, one of the kids' favorites...the dunking booth. The poor principal always walks away wet at the end of the night.

I'll be announcing the game tonight at Shiloh Christian between the Saints (#1 in 3A) and the Greenwood Bulldogs (#1 in 5A). Shiloh is built for scoring and speed so I'm hoping that we'll be able to put some points on the board early and get those holes filled in on our defensive secondary. We have a lot of speed and talent on offense and last week's score was indicative of that, even though our defense got a few stingers thrown at them. Luckily, Shiloh still came out with the win. Hopefully at the end of the night, we'll be 3-0.

The Razorbacks travel to Nashville to take on the Vanderbilt Commodores. Last year, Vandy came here to Razorback Stadium and beat us, giving us that well-deserved wake up call. I'm hoping that the soap opera that's been going on up on the Hill this week has settled down and our coaches & players are focused and on the same page. If not, it's going to be a long day and a long plane ride home tomorrow night.

The game is on TV but we have a wedding to attend so I'll have to:
a) Tivo the game and
b) not listen to anyone give any updates or scores.

Sunday should be another great day! Our pastor, Ronnie Floyd, is leading a series from the book of Job called "When My Pain Is Real." Last week was the first message in this series and it was very informative and relevant. Sunday night, he will continue his study in the book of Ephesians (one of my all-time favorites) in a 7 week Sunday night series. I'm looking forward to hearing the Word this weekend and getting "fed" spiritually.

Take some time to give God thanks today for not only the beautiful fall weather we've been having but for His abiding faith and goodness to us all. He reminds me daily how He will never leave nor forsake me and I am so grateful that He has called me one of His own.

Have a great weekend!!!
