FRIDAY, 1/9/09

OK (no pun intended) I was wrong!  The Small 12 Conference has proven in the bowl games that they weren’t such a dominant league after all.  Maybe ESPN and all of the others can now realize that the Southeastern Conference continues to be the dominant league in college football.  It is not even close!  I picked the Sooners but was pulling for the Gators (actually Tim Tebow) and the SEC!  The Rick Bradley household, Amanda O’Bannon, and even Sam Schjott are happy today while there is mourning amongst Coach Easton’s household.  The Small 12, the Little 11 (how can you be the Big Ten with 11 member schools?), et cetera need to just continue to play in the pee wee leagues and not mess with the big boys i.e. the SEC! 

In my opinion, while Florida was awarded the championship trophy last night, the real national champions are the Utah Utes.  They were undefeated (see BYU in ’84) and beat the Crimson Tide which automatically qualifies them for the championship.  (I realize FL and the refs beat Bama too but they lost a game)  As a matter of fact, Bama may lay claim to another NC since their only losses were to FL & the Utes. 

Wes & Rebekah Bates are bound for Ft. Worth, Texas and the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.  Pray for them as they begin this new phase of their lives.  I am proud of my sons in the ministry!

Speaking of seminary, Derrick & Jodie Wilkerson are scheduled to see Sesa be given to one of his family members today.  Obviously, this is going to be a tough day for them so please remember to pray. 

Bill Teasley came home from the hospital yesterday.  Lillian Brinkman remains hospitalized but hopes to come home in a few days.  Sandy Felps has pneumonia and is in a local hospital at least through the weekend.  Miss Kathleen Henderson (Joey Switzer’s grandmother) is in a local hospital with pneumonia too.  (Joey is on my list as he did not let me know she was in the hospital!)  Marie Brooks’ great nephew remains hospital too.  Miss Baugh has been moved to a room but is still not well. 

My wife leaves today and will be out of town on a business trip until Tuesday.  So, I will put on my Mr. Mom outfit for the next few days.  What time does the Upward concession stand open tomorrow? 

My blog readership has rapidly climbed back up to three readers as Rex Looney joined the ranks again.  (By the way Rex, James Messer said tell you that he prays for you and loves you – he actually wanted me to join him for a Rebels/Bama game in the future and I volunteered you to take my place!)  I am praying for a total of five readers by May.  My oppressive, liberal friend, T. Garrett, would be a more consistent reader if I would make this site more of a debate type forum but it is not happening! 

Friendship family, thank you for your response thus far to bringing meds for GRACE Ministries.  Also, we have had three others join Lisa & me as members of “Lottie’s Legion @ Friendship” so we only need 95 more members. 

I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.
