Happy 2010!

It was 25 years ago today that Cary and I drove into Ft Myers, making it our home. We had no idea of the blessings that would be ours in this place. Only dreams of the three children God would give us here...all three being born here. No idea that it could even be possible that we would still be at the same church where we arrived fresh out of seminary! Now, maybe, just maybe, the biggest surprise is that I would be found today, in front of the TV, grieving our precious Bobby Bowden's last game at Florida State. No, 25 years didn't make me a Florida State fan, just a Bobby fan. I don't know any more about football than I did 25 years ago. I just love a man I've never met that has been found faithful and has stood firm, touched many lives, made a difference. He is about people. I'm still not a sports fan, but my family has certainly pulled me into a lot of stories about people that have made a difference in the lives of others while playing sports!

P.S. After I wrote this post, I found out today is also Tebow's last game for the Gator's. It's just too much grieving for one day! I can't imagine what a true sports person is dealing with! I'm feeling pretty good about my sports interest. It's 11:30 and I'm not going to bed till it's over! I won't get to see this again! What an impact and testimony this guy has had!
