....and so many yards to go! I guess by now my football theme is evident. It is very appropriate for our family as we LOVE football....high school, college and professional. So what a great way to introduce us! Our team roster includes:
Team Owner: Jesus
Head Coach: Breece
Assistant Coach: Melissa
Starting QB: Chandler
Wide Receiver: Berkley
When considering our life I can't help but parallel it to a football game. To paint a visual, Breece and I are on the sidelines with our headsets attempting to coach our team. Chandler is always ready for a play to be called while Berkley is the one running wild down the field ready for the pass. Our team owner sits high up in the Press Box watching the game from a view we can not see on the field. Many times Jesus calls us on our headsets directing us to call a play for our team that makes absolutely no sense from the sidelines that we stand. Sometimes we feel capable of calling our own plays and are even guilty of turning our headsets off to our team owner up in the Press Box. Other times we are obedient in calling a play with the faith that His vantage point is greater than ours and He sees and knows things we do not!! The greatest thing we have learned from our years of coaching is that we remember our fumbles more than our touchdowns or victories. For we have come to realize that some of the dearest times with God are when we fumble!! So we are a team that looks at fumbles differently.....sometimes they make us laugh, sometimes they make us cry, sometimes they make us angry, but in the end they make us better because we have drawn closer to Christ. Don't get us wrong we like a good victory...but really we can't help but smile because the greatest victory has already occurred!!!
So, sit back and enjoy and LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!!
P.S. We forgot to introduce our backup team....Backup QB: Pete (English Pointer)...the smartest dog ever and Bentley (Yellow Lab)...weighing in at 98 lbs our Linebacker

I enjoyed the football metaphor for the "pre-game" blogging. The only critique i have is that you should add "humble" to your profile. - your awnry bra-in-law
