Kickin it in Colorado
Yeah, it's a tough job.........but somebody has to do it. Especially during our annual heat wave in Arkansas. The mountains refresh my soul, even when they don't have snow on them. My first trip for Harding in 98 was to Colorado, and it's held a special place in my heart ever since then. WONDERFUL folks out here, and they bless me tremendously.

If Jerry Morgan suggests something to me, I do it.......no questions asked. He suggested a couple of weeks ago that I pick up "Metamorpha: Jesus As A Way of Life" by Kyle Strobel (Lee's son) and read it. I am about half way thru it now, and I want to encourage everybody out there to get it also. Thanks Jerry for the heads up!! I can't hardly put it down.

As far as race relations in the USA, we have quite a ways to go. We've come a LONG way, but we have MANY miles to go before we can rest. When people want to convict Michael Vick simply because he is black, that is pathetic and wrong. It's equally as racist and pitiful when some want him to get away with his crime simply because he is black. Both perspectives are driven by racism, and that racism damages our country, and our world.

"Field of Dreams" has to be in my top 10 movies of all time. We all, yes EVERYBODY, wants to be affirmed, validated, and acknowledged. That's why I think my favorite line in the movie is when Archie "Moonlight" Graham is about to walk back in the corn field and Shoeless Joe Jackson stops him by saying: "Hey Rookie, you were good". That scene always gives me chill-bumps, no matter how many times I watch it.

Last but not least, college football begins this week. You didn't think I would let that go without a mention did ya? Good luck to all of your teams. My Tide takes the field Saturday night, and I will be in Florence watching it with my dad.
Ain't it fun?!?!?!??!?!?!? :)

I will try to get back into the football mindset, but I'm busy right now rooting for the Tigers to pull back into first place in their division. THEN I'll pull for the WV Mountaineers (in fact, I'm wearing a WVU polo shirt today, so maybe I'm starting a little early).
Hey, David -
I haven't left a comment in ages & ages, so this is the first in a very long time for me.
Hope you're having a good week and will enjoy your ball game with your dad. Wish my dad were alive and near enough by that we could go to a football game together. That would be fun.
I don't know if you remember this or not, but you were the one who led me to Patrick Mead and I just want to thank you, again, for that. He has become a great friends nad has been a huge blessing in my life these past two and a half years.
Thanks, David!

Dee, good to hear from you! I check your blog from time to time, even if I don't leave a comment.
Yeah, Patrick has been a HUGE blessing to me also. I love that guy!
God bless and stay in touch!

Speaking of Top 10 movies, has anybody out there seen the movie "Shine" starring Geoffrey Rush? I told my brother Dave about it several years ago and actually loaned him my copy 2 months ago. You guessed it - no, he still hasn't seen it. Perhaps Jerry Morgan liked the movie and will recommend it to Dave. I hope so. It might even make it on his Top 10 list.
