The #OldGal whipped me with a 3. She did me like me Oakland did Kentucky.

Hopefully the #YoungPups can up with a 2.

This past week I’ve done the “crazy weather/man cold” thing. Yet, I didn’t miss a lift. A couple of years ago, there’s no way that would have been true.

Yes, I’ve lost weight.

But, I’m no longer the same person. I am a person who exercises even when I don’t want to exercise. It’s what I do now.

This NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament has been really entertaining to this point. It is one of my favorite sports weekends of the year. 🏀

His stubbled face and steel blue eyes revealed a deep knowing. His hands were calloused. The #smoke from his pipe drifted gently off against the setting sun. The only sound was the creak from the loose deck board beneath his rocking chair.

At that moment all was peace.

An unforced error in row three. 🤬

The upside? The #OldGal put up a bigger number like her Grizzlies did against Kentucky. She got a 5!

#YoungPups, let’s roll!

Good morning! May you finish your week with hopeful enthusiasm. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

I think one of the most important things I learned in grad school was to hold a charitable position when I am reading someone’s work. It is easy to see the things I disagree with. To be able to identify the good often requires a deeper understanding of their position.

Good morning. May your brackets not bust unless they differ from mine. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

A six and I was lucky.

The #OldGal got a 4.

I feel like this will be a tough one for the #YoungPups.

The #OldGal lost her MoJo! She dropped a five today and earned a defeat. The door is wide open #YoungPups!

Good morning! May you practice patience in the midst of whatever stressful situation you might find yourself in today. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing ✝️☕️

I know of no more poignant contrast between two human destinies than that of Peter and Judas. Both assumed leadership within the group of Jesus’ disciples. Both saw and heard wondrous things. Both went through the same dithery cycle of hope, fear, and disillusionment. As the stakes increased, both denied their Master.

From: The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey 📚

If this isn’t a “but by the grace of God go I,” I don’t know what is.
