Spring Football

The sweaty boys of football were back in action for one intersquad scrimmage spring football game last week!  It was hot out there, but it was fun to get on to the football field in front of the fans!  At least it was fun for me!  I had my eye on #52 all afternoon!

In other news....

• Work has been super busy...put in almost 50 hours last week. 
• Chip has his semester finals this coming week and then his Sophomore year of high school will be behind him. He will be a Junior!  Isn't that nuts? 
• Harry is filling out job applications every single day and all over this country.  No telling where he is going to land! 
• Went to get my blood drawn on Saturday morning for my annual endocrinologist appointment next week.  I got to the lab 15 minutes after they opened and there were forty people in front of me.   Forty!  Had to wait two hours!  AND I WAS FASTING!  No coffee - No food.  It was a long two hours! 
• I made up for the the fasting by going to Beth's for dinner!  Steak, potato, salad.  SCRUMPTIOUS!  In addition to the lovely humans, I also got to visit her new sweet puppy Presley.  She was precious.  Also, we ate on the patio and there were probably eight deer in her yard.  Lovely night!  
• This morning I went down to help serve church at Lakeside with my friend Mary.  We have the best talks on the way down and back and I treasure that time!  I have been going to Lakeside for about seven or so years and there is one gentlemen who I have seen probably twenty times and he is so, so quiet.  He might give me a quiet thank you for pouring him some juice, but just not a big talker. Today, he walked into the community room, walked up to me with a big smile on his face and said "I sure appreciate y'all coming down here to have church with us.  You take such good care of us and I am just thankful."  Made me so happy.  He has no idea how much that means to me. Made me sing extra loud today.  I love doing church at Lakeside.  
• Some sad stuff swirling around the hood, kids in car accidents, momma's fighting cancer, my sweet neighbor Judy lost her brother last week.  Life is hard.  It is supposed to be hard.  We have lessons to learn and we only learn them by walking through the hard.  We learn to lean into God, trust him with the hard, fix our eyes and our hearts on what is most important.  The people we get to love.  The people we get to serve. The love we get to share.  All the rest of it is just noise and distraction.  Let's all have tender hearts.  Toward ourselves and toward others.  Let's live like all that matters is our hearts. Wouldn't that be a game changer? 

Have a spectacular week!  I am going to sure try to have one myself!
