I’m a Believer

I saw all those commercials offering a $1,500 rebate, “if you act now”, but I knew I wouldn’t qualify. I heard about the government’s Cash for Clunker program but I was skeptical. My parents told me about the Philco Ford’s Z-Plan discount if an employee (or their family member) buys a new car but I doubted. Well, not anymore. Today I drove home my very first brand new 2009 Ford Focus for almost 40% off the dealer price. After taking into account the gas savings and the maintenance & repair cost (I was driving a 1996 Dodge pick-up), the cost for me will be less than many people pay for a cell phone bill. In the words of Andre Crouch, “I didn’t think it could be, ‘til it happened to me”.
Bottom line – Thank God, from whom ALL blessings flow.

Church Softball Championship Game

Last night, our church softball team was in the finals. Though we didn't win, 20-19, (second place) We had a GREAT time. I don't play as much anymore. (trouble with my old knees). But coaching my son along the rest of the men, really brings my life full circle. I always coached both boys in sports as they were growing up. I can tell you that I am reaping the benefits of that time now.

Two of the greatest boys on the planet!

Father and son.

Eric's on third, I'm coaching, and Ryan is taking pictures.

Man, life is good.

Mr. Cool.

I always wonder where he gets that from.

My better side.

Happy 4th of July

Two years ago we had a Father’s Day Survivor Challenge at Dave's house.
I don't remember posting the video but it came up yesterday when we had a similar event at Dave's house again. Chick took lots of video for that one but until he posts it, here's the one from two year's ago.

It was shot by Chick and Jennifer and created by Jennifer.
Chick says he's out to top it this year. We'll see.

Happy 4th.
