My Poor Boys - Don't Give Up. Don't Ever Give UP.

Hey Everyone,

Sorry I have not written in a while. Things have been pretty busy up here and pretty cold. February is an extremely busy month and I am sooooo looking forward to March 3rd. Other things are going on that I will share at a later time but keep me in your prayers. I am facing some new challenges that I have not faced before and I am working hard at it. Jimmy Valvano said, "Don't Give up. Don't ever give up" in a speech about cancer at the ESPY awards - a month before he died. So, I am not giving up. You can see his speech by clicking this link. You should see it. PRetty inspiring. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePXlkqkFH6s

It has been busy. Last weekend, we had two funerals in one day. Then the next day, we had the annual business meeting after church and then a youth class and superbowl party afterwards. YEAH PEYTON MANNING. I was dead tired the next day.

Also - if you don't mind, put my boys in your prayers too. Duke has lost four in a row. I don't know. There is pain in my heart. But, they are young. AND - the GREATEST thing is happening on Wednesday. I get to go see them play!!!!!! I GET TO SEE DUKE PLAY ON WEDNESDAY!!!! They are coming to Boston to play Boston College - which is about 10 minutes away from me. I GET TO SEE THEM PLAY!!!! SO - I am hoping and praying that they will win. They are coming up here with that four in a row loss. So, Don't give up boys. Don't ever give up!

Like my picture of the angelic bear and the devil. I have angels that watch over me and I cheer for a blue devil. hmmmmm

I am preaching on the 18th Keep me in your prayers. Charley starts his paternity leave tomorrow. Ahhh.

To go along with the whole "Lead with your heart" theme, Valentine's Day may be Wednesday but don't let that be the only day you say "I love you".
