Dad called tonight.
“Hey. Whacha doin’ for Thanksgiving?”
“I guess coming to KC, why?”
“I got a couple of tickets to the KC/Denver game on Thanksgiving night…if you want to go.”
Excuse me while I change my pants. I just wet myself.
Heck freakin’ yeah!!!! Which jersey should I wear - Rod Smith or St. John Elway?

Last Day At Grace
Category: random abstract | 5 Comments
Office packed.
Files tossed.
Keys turned in.
Lights turned off.
Last staff lunch - at PF Changs.
Now the only thing left - and Kayla I know you are reading this - remove my name off the security list.
No more friggin’ 3 AM phone calls telling me someone forgot to set the alarm.
Vacation starts….now.

1. Carson Palmer is back. He may be better (smarter) than last year.
2. No matter how you slice, the Bengals have the worst uniforms in the […]

What I’m Going To Miss
Category: spiritual formation | 2 Comments
As I process my last week at Grace, it really is bitter-sweet. We are pumped about Pinecrest and Parker and the new friends we have there. We are excited about the potential and yes - even the WORK that is ahead of us.
But we have so many friends that are family […]

7. Edge James, RB, Cardinals
Manning was drafted early and somehow James slides here. I’m happy but nervous. New scoring system this […]

The Cowboys aren’t even out of the preseason yet.
This is going to be the longest 4 game stretch ever.
Joe Theismann quote from the New Orleans/Dallas preseason game:
I think TO has changed because the game of football was taken away from him last year. And you […]

I’ve now preached my last sermon at Grace and locked up after church my last time. (Which for all the Grace readers - we use a lot of lights on Sunday morning. Just an observation.) There was a basket of cards and throngs of people who just wanted a hug and some […]
