Even though it has been a while since the last blog life has been a blast.
During the end of May I traveled with the East Texas Baptist University Lady Tigers Softball team to the NCAA Division III Softball championship held in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I have never been to Wisconsin. I brought my two sons "cheeseheads" back from Eau Claire. It was different seeing all the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings stuff in the sports stores.
Wisconsin was very enjoyable because ETBU won it all. Yes, they are the national champions in NCAA Division III softball. I have watched many celebrations on TV when teams have won it all and always said to myself, "That is neat."
You know what, being at a national championship tournament and your team wins, is AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME. It beats watching a team win on national television. What an experience for me. In my career I have always wanted to cover a team that won it all. God is good to this old boy who used to type out his own newspaper as kid with make believe stories about teams winning championships.
When I got back from Wisconsin, my wife was named Secondary Teacher of the Year for the Marshall Independent School District. I am so proud of her but it does not surprise me. I see the extra hours she spends to get ready to teach and the extra time she gives after school to her students to help them succeed. She was recognized by the MISD school board just a few weeks back and the Marshall News Messenger did a story on her.
Father's Day was great. I am so blessed to be called Dad by Alison, Andrew and Ashton. Marianne and Alison made one of my favorite desserts, bannana pudding.
Life is a blast when you know that the Lord Jesus Christ is guiding it.
