It’s a Good Weekend When…

It’s a good weekend when…

  • The two soccer teams that your sons play for go a combined 4-1 for the weekend…
  • When you oldest son manages to travel from Tuscaloosa to Huntsville for a brief visit, then on to Atlanta for a Dave Matthews/Allman Brothers concert and then back to Tuscaloosa without getting into yet another wreck…
  • The Crimson Tide beats the so-called “experts'” 3 1/2 point spread against Vanderbilt and wins by a margin much closer to what you predicted…
  • You become a full-fledged convert to the Crimson Way by staying up late watching Auburn lose in OT to South Florida and then high-fiving it with Number Two Son, the former Vols fan…
  • You step on the scales and learn that you’ve actually lost 2 lbs over the past week and a half despite the fact that you haven’t run a single step…
  • You get to teach a class at church that you’re actually excited about (Richard Foster’s Celebration of Discipline)
  • Your friend who moved to Egypt shows up unexpectedly for a visit bringing with him his friend Akhmed who is visiting a Christian church for the first time in his life…
  • Akhmed enjoys your class and you get to visit with him for a while and make a new friend from a faraway place…
  • You get to teach Akhmed the all-purpose, always-appropriate phrase, “Roll Tide, Roll!”

    It was a good weekend. All I caught was the very end of that Auburn game…switched to it when I was bored w/LSU-VA Tech…and I think that was the most exciting couple of minutes of football I watched all day long!

    I hope you enjoy the class you’ll be teaching at church. And I hope your new friend had a wonderful experience at your church, as well. Much love!–mmlace

    Roll Tide right backatchya. But can you say it in Arabic yet?

    Don’t forget to “roll” on over to the library and get some studying done today. 🙂

    Knocking off a higher ranked team–a good omen if there ever was one.

    RTR!
