Monday here we come!

It's monday and I am refreshed for once. There was nothing pressing, I didn't have to set the alarm clock on Saturday. I just had a bunch of work to get done at the church and that is it. So, I took my time getting going and then I took on the things I needed to. In the mean time however, we had a chance to just relax and watch some football with our family, let the kids swim and just relax which was much needed for Tara and I alike. WHile neither of us had our games go the way we wanted all weekend until Sunday afternoon it was a decent weekend.
Friday night we had to rush out of the football game(Coach Cromwell and I) because his wife Holly had hurt her foot the night before and lost feeling in it. It had swollen and she had lost feeling in it during the football game Friday so she decided to go to the emergency room. She forgot to tell us that she went to Dr. Grimes and they had already closed so she went home instead. So Coach and I rushed to teh emergency room and then to the house where she had gone instead. She eventually went to the doctor on Saturday morning and has ligamints torn and sprained her ankle, so she is going to be fine.
The Falcons stayed strong even though they had 2 touchdowns taken off the board in the first half, and a bad punt snap left St. Augustine with a first and goal at the 3 yard line. That gave them a 14 - 0 lead and that score stayed until into the third quarter where the defense started to get tired from being on the field too much. So the 41-0 score doesn't tell the full story, but it says enough.
I'm ready for this week, to see the guys back at it and hopefully hungrier than ever. We face Creekside this week at home, finally another home game for us to get back into a routine somewhat.
Sunday we had a good crowd, several families missing but we had an interesting guest. A lady who said she had been invited to our church by a few people stopped in half way through the service to tell us that she had a 4 year old daughter with cancer. She was on a list and 165th on the list for a transplant. THen, they got a call at 7am yesterday morning and her daughter was receiving a transplant after only a few months of being on the list because she was a 99% match. We prayed with her for safety, and for the guidance of the doctors and physicians and she was off on her way. The little girl's name was Destiny, so remember them in your prayers please.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
