Some football coaches like to say that the "Hay is in the barn." after the final football practice of the week. This means that the plan is in, you have practiced the plan, and all that is left to do is go execute the plan. The hay is in the barn. There is nothing left to do. Well, my Bataan training is done and all there is left to do is go out and run the race. I am ready. It's also a pretty good feeling that I have to depend on no one but myself. As a high school football coach, it's kind of funny, in a sick sort of way, that your livelihood is in the hands of 15-18 year old boys, and how they perform on a Friday night. Not so here. I alone am responsible for how it goes down at White Sands next Sunday. I can live with that.

| Matthew, Daniel, and Zachary. |
It's been quite a while since I have updated this blog, and to my dozens of rabid followers, I sincerely apologize. Let's just say that there have been some good but very time consuming developments take place in my life. I will possibly share them with you fine people as they unfold. I thought that I would be able to catch up on things during my spring break, but no dice. Matthew and Zachary have been at home with me all week, and oh man, you wanna see two little energetic fellas. Come to my house. After an extended time of tending to little ones, it leaves no doubt in my mind that the job of a stay at home mom is the hardest on the planet. A kindergarten teacher would come in a close second. But there is not a thing in the world that I would trade my boys for. Psalm 144 says: "May our sons flourish in their youth like well nurtured plants..." God has blessed me with three boys that are flourishing in their youth, and I am very grateful.
Matthew 19:14: Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
