MONDAY MALARKEY!!

Actually, I like Mondays. It's my day off (or at least is supposed to be). You know how that goes. If you want to drive someone crazy just say, "Wow, only ___ days til Monday!" Try it and see for yourself. Anyways, a few thoughts as I find myself "Just Wondering".

• Did anyone watch the Grammys? Have we lost touch with reality?? As they say, "Seriously?"
• How about the kid who won the Daytona 500, Trevor Bayne? I like him. Youngest ever to win the big one. Great with the interviews and an obvious Christian. Good for him!
• Blessed to hang with a few of the folks from the Emmaus community in Garden City on Friday and Saturday. And always a blessing to stay with the Sheppards. Good times!
• Hey Kolton! What happened to your voice????
• It was good to strum the 6 string again on Sunday in Jerry's absence. It's been awhile! As much as I love to play, hurry and return to the band Jerry. Heal quickly!!
• Ate lunch with my oldest son today. He always has some good thoughts to ponder. For example, should we really be asking for God to reveal His will for our lives, or just for Him to reveal His will? Isn't there a difference??
• Also, if a person says "good worship service today", what exactly does that mean??
• I really like Albert Pujols as a baseball player and as a person but is he being greedy regarding his next salary contract?
• And what about the collective bargaining agreement in the NFL??? Am I supposed to feel sorry for the multi-millionaires??
• How serious are Christians when they say they are willing to do whatever it takes to invite people to church or introduce others to Jesus?
• If church was against the law, would we go?
• Are we willing to give up our kids' childhood so they can be involved in every sport and activity imaginable?
• Can Dick Vitale speak in a normal tone?
• Frank Martin preaches discipline but isn't controlling one's tongue a discipline?
• How much wood can a woodchuck chuck........?

PLATE'S FULL!

Sorry - no blog this week. Too much going on. However, way to go Wildcats!! See ya!!

Super Bowling!

Well, the Green Bay Packers pulled it off. They defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in yesterday's big game by the score of 31-25. Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay quarterback) was the MVP and you can be sure that he will make a few bucks in endorsements in the coming months. Jordy Nelson, wide receiver from KSU had a great game (even thought he dropped a few passes). And Ben Roethlisberger will have to wait another year to get that third ring as a Steeler QB.

I was glad to see the Packers win, mainly because I'm a Jordy Nelson fan. -farm kid from Kansas who makes it big - I like that! I also was pulling for Rodgers who has had to live in the shadow of Brett Favre for many years. Now maybe that monkey can find another back to make its home. And to see the Packers win such a big game in the midst of all the injuries, you got to give it to them. Congrats!!

I mentioned in church that the winner would probably be the team that took advantage of the opportunites that would present themselves and was I right or what? 3 turnovers translated to 21 points - enough said! Good game though. Lot's of fun!

EXCEPT for the national anthem, the half-time show, and some of the commercials!! Come on Christina - get the words right! There is no prize for how many syllables you can pack into one word or how long you can make the song last. Yikes!! She made the dogs in Dallas howl! And talk about howling - what in the world was that 30 minutes of stuff that was defined as a half-time show? Black-eyed peas?? I get the name, for it was indeed a "black eye" for the super bowl. Maybe they are in good in concert, but yesterday it was awful!! (Yes, my opinion) - we can agree to disagree but according to all the talk on the tube, most agree with me. And last but not least, the commercials. Some were funny - the monkeys, the Dorito chips, the beaver. But do we have to keep stooping to all the sexual innuendos in these ads? Come on - if you have a good product, advertise it and maybe I'll buy it. I don't need the "skin" to entice me. Besides, skin wrinkles!!

Okay, enough for now! JUST some thoughts and comments. The game was great, hard fought and close. That's the way it should be. Until next year....................................................................
