Storms and Games

Good Weekend Everyone!

What I am hearing so far is that everyone is safe that I know from the Hurricane area along the coast. Hopefully, the news will continue to be good. They are saying on the news right now that the water is starting to recede. The amount of damage sounds like it is going to be pretty large. Our prayers are needed.

Robert did well last night. He got hit in the back twice last night, so he is sore and bruised - not broken. He kicked off several times and even tackled the runner after kicking. He played offense and defense. They are still trying boys out in different positions all the way around. He seems to be enjoying playing and he is determined to be able to play all season, so he is thinking a little smarter about what he is doing on the field.

James played all but about four plays the whole game Thursday night. They did very well even though our team with four eighth graders played Stamford's 35 eighth graders. We also have about 7 seventh graders and 10 sixth graders. One of our best running backs is in sixth grade. It was hard because more that half of our team played their first game Thursday night. Usually for a first game, the coaches would normally be on the field for the first half of the game. That didn't happen. To make matters worse, the messed up order for the pads the boys would need for their pants were brought to school by the company at the time that the team needed to leave on the bus for the game. What a day!

We have a new preacher at church. His name is Mark Burgess and we are excited to have him. I have started a blog for the Putnam congregation at http://putnamchristians.blogspot.com where I will begin publishing my Bible class weekly articles. If you would like to continue getting those, please let me know and I will be happy to set that up. We are preparing for the Lord's blessings here as we continue to work in this community.

Another thing, I don't know if I've mentioned it, but I have opened a new Herbalife store at http://Brad.HerbalCoach.com. It takes PayPal. I appreciate you checking the store out and sharing the address to friends.

Have a Great Weekend!
