It is going to be a fun football season for me. I went to the opening Golden Bears game yesterday, and though the start was a bit shaky, the Golden Bears found their form I think. I'm no football expert, but I think their quarterback threw confident and sharp passes. He found the ones who were open and nailed the passes quite a bit better than last year. And in layman's terms, I thought his offensive line protected him well - quite well - and in addition, the receivers were fast off the mark. I was totally impressed.
My friend Jean-Marc plays defense for the Bears and he did a great job yesterday. I particularly remember 3 tackles that were awesome. Whoever #45 was did an awesome job as did #44. I thought the defense looked very strong.
I think that if the Golden Bears play like they did in Quarters 2, 3 and 4, for the rest of this year, they will be tough to beat. I am so excited to be able to be here for this year of great football!
I moved to Edmonton, Alberta, from Michigan about two years ago, and this blog is intended to communicate my journey to friends and family......and anyone else who might accidently hit on this blogsite!! Please at least check out the prayer requests on the right hand side and, if so inclined, request God's help along with me! Thank you!

Prayer
Oh Lord, my heart cries out tonight
To join a mother in her fight
A child of yours, a friend of mine
Needs, my Lord, your touch divine
For cancer wracks her body, Lord,
And pain so fierce – that’s cancer’s sword
And begin the healing yet today
For she is one of Your kingdom
We trust Tina to the One we love
Whose very words help us to cope
We read and dwell on Jesus’ prayer
“…Father, if thou be willing,
Remove this cup from me.
Nevertheless not my will,
But thine, be done...” prayed He.
