This Weekend

What can I say, any day that the Cowboys emerge victorious, is a great day.

But to have them emerge atop the BUCS makes for an even better day!

The important thing for people to remember in situations like these, where they get beat by a far superior team, is not how you play the game, but whether you win or lose.

I had a great weekend with my family, real low key and just some quality time with my wonderful son and beautiful wife. Saturday morning, we went and hung out at a craft fair at St. Andrews United Methodist Church in Brandon, it was pretty awesome, and Micah and I found some puddles to splash in, some hills to run up and down, and a chocolate cupcake to devour while Mom shopped. It was super fun.

Then, Micah began asking to go to Cracker Barrel for lunch, and since we thought it was awesome that he knew what Cracker Barrel was and that he could ask to go there we granted his request, and I tore up the vegetable platter, with some awesome Lima Beans! We also spoiled him a little more and bought him "a pincher" one of those toys that you squeeze the handle and it has a claw that grabs whatever you are near. He thinks it is awesome and pretends there are sharks around and pinches them.

We went home, took naps (or did homework) and then just hung out at home and played and went for a walk, and enjoyed the cool weather. An absolutely fabulous Saturday.

Sunday, we got up, played baseball outside for a little while before going to church, and then we had a planning meeting at our house, thank you Lora, Sara, Jen, Brittney, Micah and my lovely wife for helping direct and lead our students, you guys are awesome!

While the meeting was going on, the Cowboys were illustrating their superiority over the BUCS, and I turned the game on in time to see most of the 2nd half, and watch as we steamrolled over them, it was awesome!

Sunday night, our small group, which has been getting smaller, had a great discussion about 1 Peter 1, and really what it means to focus on God and not our circumstances. I am challenged and encouraged every week by our group, and even though we have been less, numerically, I feel like the quality of discussion in our group is getting better.

All in all, except for the Rays facing elimination, a great weekend.
