Golden Bears

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!

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

I pray You take her pain away
And begin the healing yet today

Please strengthen her for what’s to come
For she is one of Your kingdom

Here on this earth and up above
We trust Tina to the One we love

Our God so great, who gives us hope
Whose very words help us to cope

With circumstances beyond compare
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.
