Prayer Request, Super Bowl, Random Gorge memory

One of the pastors at Freedom Fellowship, Donnie Kauffman, is in the hospital and undergoing treatment and examinations for right side numbness that started when he was working out yesterday. Donnie is also Miles' basketball coach and the father of 3 boys and devoted husband to Shelly. I ask that you lift Donnie and his family in your prayers for comfort, healing and strength. They have found some bleeding in his brain and are doing all the necessary tests. He remains in good spirits and talking to everyone. Thank you for remembering our church and its leaders.

On a family note, Dylan has had a mean cold and stayed at home with me yesterday and today. He's doing okay and actually asked if he could go outside today. It's nice and sunny in the lower 70's, yes the 70's today. Maybe I will go out with him and Keller later. Miles was going to start piano today but we couldn't get his music books this weekend and are postponing until next week. Plus, starting karate and piano in the same week with basketball season winding up probably isn't the smartest thing for us. So, one step at a time...

Oh yeah, how about them Giants? I really enjoyed the Super Bowl party and the game. Tom Petty was pretty good at the half too. What's up with Mike Campbell's hair? He's still got the skills on the guitar, so it doesn't really matter, does it? I enjoyed the setlist and the energy. Good to see old Tom kickin' still. I saw Tom back on the Full Moon Fever tour in Charlotte and that remains a great concert memory. This summer tour with Steve Winwood is looking to be a major draw and should be a lot of fun. Steve has remained true to the muse. I saw Traffic back in 1994 at the Gorge in George, Washington. My first show at the Gorge. I can still remember standing at the stage looking down the Columbia River Gorge with Steve right in front of me singing "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" It's a moment frozen in time. Makes me miss the Gorge. Great summer fun there.

Well, work break is over.

See ya!
