Tired.......

So...I turn 32 this upcoming Tuesday.
No big deal, right?
It's not that I am getting "older."
Or that I am not as fit as I once was (getting a little soft, I must admit).
It's that I am tired.
Mentally, spiritually, physically........

I honestly don't know what to do to make myself wake up.

After Kyle died, It seemed as if the motivation came back.
To do something great and be a better person.
To live up to the expectations that he had for me.
He expected so much from all of us.
To be Christ Followers in our little corner of the world.
Well.....I think I painted myself into that corner.

We're planning on making our way back to Waco.....and that's a good thing.
Our family of friends is incredibly important to us.....especially now.
But getting there is becoming a problem.
We need to get there soon, because Phoenix is way too costly.
I don't know what I want to be when I grow up.......
I'm expected to figure that out now....after 10 years of flailing about.....and I do need to "figure it out."
I just don't know how......I don't want to keep on making minor adjustments in my employment, without figuring out what the major overhaul needs to be........I'm here again.
And I'm tired.
Thanks for your prayers........we need them.

Greatest Game....Ever?

My computer won't allow me to show you a picture......so let me paint one for you.
Inches.
Two inches to be exact.
Two inches are what separated USC and their Third National Championship in Three Years......
All my Texas friends will tell you that their Longhorns defeated my Men of Troy.
I would have to disagree......the Longhorns did not disassemble the Trojans.
Vince Young did that all by himself.
I am not upset....how could you be?
It was an incredible game!
Back and forth.....both offenses seemed to be on track.....both defenses had some hiccups and some great plays as well.
I told a friend of mine yesterday...before the game....that if it came down to a shootout, the last person with the ball would win it.
I was right.
Unfortunately.
So........greatest game ever?
Yeah probably......
But Bowl games and National Championships aside.......the greatest game that I have ever attended was in my sophomore year at Baylor.
Yes Baylor.
Baylor upended Fresno State and their lauded quarterback Trent Dilfer (he of the Nat'l Champ. Ravens of a few years ago) by the score of 42-39.
Now that......my dear friends......was a great game.
