What it was...was football!

I called Greg Brune last night to see if he wanted to have lunch today and he told me that four couples were leaving this morning for Ole Miss to see SEMO play.   I actually forgot about the game.   I have forgotten about the games for five years.  But I lived for the games all the other years since Bill Stacy started playing in 1956 and I was always there and watched intently...and then coached and was....

Circumstances change.   I want us to win but I won't lose any sleep over it, unless I like the coach.  (I do like Tony Samuel but after he won the conference, they say he got a five year contract).   So I will listen tomorrow night to sports, perhaps, but that is as far as I am willing to go these days.

Strange how things change in one's life!   Almost overnight.   I used to spend practically all day Saturday at Houck and all day Sunday at lst Baptist.  This weekend I am going to Perryville on Saturday for the mass of a long-time friend, Betty Prost, and then on Sunday I am going to old deans H and HS, Loretta Prater's, to meet the new dean.   Still busy but  making different choices now.   Bev Hickam told me this week that I don't need to worry about all this;   I do ministry every day.   I hope and pray she is right!

So Redhawks, go get 'em.  I will try to keep up better!
