Judy (aka meowmix) emailed to say that her brother J.W. (the one with diabetes) died last night. She is requesting the prayers of her blog community. I know you will keep her and her family in prayer.

2 Corinthians 1:2-5 (NCV) Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is the Father who is full of mercy and all comfort. He comforts us every time we have trouble, so when others have trouble, we can comfort them with the same comfort God gives us. We share in the many sufferings of Christ. In the same way, much comfort

The Wray family spent a lovely late afternoon playing in the yard. The kids delight themselves in a new game they have invented. Maybe you’ve heard of it? It’s called let’s try and tackle dad. We punt a football back and forth to each other and try to run one back for a touchdown. Their favorite part is to horse collar me and bring me to the ground. The old man, however, still has some moves left in the lily whites. Now where’s the Advil?

It was funny watching the kids yesterday. The weather is turning colder today, supposedly for the next few days. They stayed outside as long as there was an ounce of light and played every sport they could think of in that short time period. Football, Basketball, Soccer, Softball - they literally covered the bases in one afternoon.

I wish I was a kid again.
