Touchdowns and Weight Loss

Well Will's flag team played Middle Tennessee Christian School (M.T.C.S) this past Saturday and boy was it a great game. If you will remember from my last post I talked about my struggle about giving my son too many carries and the fear of being the parent that wants his son to be the only one with a chance. However after the opening loss I was determined to give him half the carries and let the chips fall where they may. The plan worked out well as Will scored 4 touchdowns and led the Vikings to a 39-24 win. The great thing is we got a good lead in the second half and several boys got to run the ball and all is well. After the game I had several parents come to me and ask "why have you not let Will run the ball more?" I just looked at them and laughed and said I don't wont to be the dad that his son has to be the Shortstop, pitcher, tailback, quarterback and point guard. This week we travel to Cornersville to play but I will not be attending this game I am going to be in Tuscaloosa watching the Tide Roll on Tulane.


BTW................ Alabama looked great in its opener versus Clemson and now the Tide is ranked #13 going into a 3 game stretch of easy wins before travelling to #2 Georgia.



Weight Loss................ I am still doing well I have only lost a pound or so since last week that brings the total up too 24 pds. I am starting to wear clothes again that have been in the closet since I graduated Seminary.


God Bless
