THE REAR VIEW MIRROR

I have had a series of conversations with some friends recently that have helped me realize how much God influences our decisions, IF YOU LET HIM.

We are satisfied with some of the decisions we have made in the past year. We have made efforts in how we eat,(still working on that), how we exercise (still working on that one too), how we live our life and the friends we have.

We have made some decisions concerning our spiritual life as well. We have started to lead another small group. We have kept in contact with some of the people from our last group. We have made a major decision to be a part of a family of believers that has truly blessed us.

In discussions with friends and acquaintenses from the past fellowship we were involved with, we see the concerns we thought only we saw are shared by others. We can only pray that the concerns become growing pains and the positive will continue to be there.

However, the further we are away from the situation, the more clear it is in our rear view mirror.

THE OLD MEETS THE NEW

Yesterday began a week that has not been a problem very often in my life. A collision of the old and new. I grew up in Los Angeles and rooted for the Kings until the Coyotes moved to Phoenix from Canada. I have always tried to root, root, root for the home team. And when the Dodgers played the d-Backs it was easy to root for the d-Backs because the dodgers were owned by a terrible owner and they signed Manny Ramirez. And when it comes to basketball, as long as there is Kobe in a Lakers uniform, I can root for any other team, besides the team that Lebron plays on.

Now the Kings and Coyotes are playing to see who plays in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Kings have been there only one time and the Coyotes, well, this is as far as they have been…..ever. After the first game, it looks like I will not have to worry about this very long. The Kings sure looked like the more determined team in game one.

This is a good problem to have. Having two teams to root for. I will enjoy it for how long it lasts. Go Kings, on to the Cup. Go, Yotes, BEAT LA.
