Important Issues...

As we draw closer to the end of yet another school year it amazes me how the important issues of yesterday differ from the ones today. This morning I awoke with the thought of how I should be ready for the lights of Friday night football or the usual Saturday track meet when it hits me that I'm long past those days. It's kinda funny how it hits me just about the time my feet hit the floor. Then I realize how I'm awaking to a lot of responsibility. Married with a daughter and another baby girl on the way, who would of thunk it. I know that during high school being a parent wasn't in the play book. My priorities where myself and my activities. I was a sinner loving my sins for a season. I cared only about Track & Field and Oklahoma Football. While I still enjoy those sports today it's on a much smaller level. I haven't been to an OU football game since my daughter has been born. I will never forget how cold it was in Kansas City for the 2004 Big XII Championship game though. Heather about two and a half months from being do with Madison and waddling around the stadium because of her crazy hubby. What a great weekend it was. Heather and I got to see a new city and the Sooners dominated Colorado 42-3 on the legs of a young freshman phenom by the name of Adrian Peterson. While all that was fun and will be great to remember I know the best is yet to come.
Madison can be as independent as me and as mean as her momma. She loves books, which I hope is a foundation that she will cling to and hearing her sing "Jesus Loves Me" is by far sweeter then Bob Barry's infamous "TOUCHDOWN OKLAHOMA!!".
I know baby Megan will be awesome as well because she is already giving her momma fits.
A daddy's prayer of thanking God for saving an undeserving wretch like me and how I would do anything for God to save these two little girls and make them wonderful witnesses for Him.

Oh how the important issues of yesterday have changed....

In Christ Alone,
