I took a few days off from blogging. During that time a number of things happened. I am grateful that the impact of Hurricane Gustav will not be as severe as feared. The levees held, people were evacuated in an orderly fashion, and everyone comes across as being very competent and responsible. Oklahoma City is taking care of some 400 evacuees and it looks as though they will not be here long because they will be able to return home soon.
In golf news, it appears that Vijay Singh has occupied the void left by Tiger Woods. How wierd is it that the only guys to win three tournaments this year are in their 40's? None of the twenty somethings with all of the good looks and athleticism have been able to step up to the forefront while this window of opportunity exists.
College football has begun and all of the madness that goes with it. OU, OSU and Tulsa all won their games. Texas A&M continues to fail to be even mediocre. Rick Neuheisel has sparked new hope at UCLA (my hope is that they can knock off USC) and we won't have to hear about Hawaii this year after their sound thrashing at the hands of Florida. Michigan may have found a long-term solution, but they didn't find a magic instant cure to their underacheiving ways.
In baseball, my New York Yankees will not reach the playoffs in their last year in Yankee Stadium. That's sad at so many levels. Maybe now they will be willing to pay their players enough to motivate them. (I need a sarcasm font for the previous statement)
At church, things are going so well. Pastor Darren is preaching with great freedom and the Spirit of God is moving in an awesome way. This week is Friend Day. Make sure that you come and bring someone with you!
