Random Greatness ...

We wrapped up another great Prestonwood Golf Classic yesterday...It was a little windy, but a beautiful day none the less. We had nearly 200 golfers participating and we raised thousands to go toward scholarships for summer camps here at Prestonwood for students and children. I’ve talked in the past about the summer camps I used to attend at Sagamore Hill Baptist Church. When I was 16, my dad was out of work that whole year, and we couldn’t afford to pay for summer camp. Someone paid my way that year, I don’t know who it was, but that person’s generosity allowed me to go, and it impacted my entire life.

Our state c
hampion basketball team at Prestonwood Christian Academy presented me with a signed basketball today. Over the years, friends have given me autographed memorabilia from professional athletes as gifts. I am always so grateful for the thought that goes into it. But, I’ll tell you, the autographed memorabilia from the PCA teams I’ve received hold a special place in my heart. I love these students and am so proud of them, not just because of their athletic accomplishments, but because of the Kingdom Education they’ve embraced here.

The Rangers are on a roll ... looking forward to the showdown here at home against the Oakland A’s... (And looking forward to that sale going through and giving #34 his rightful place as owner. Bud Selig needs to just pull the trigger already.)

The North Texas White Sox are also on a roll...That’s my grandson, Ian’s team. By the way, #5 is crushing the ball...and, boy, he can slide (whether he needs to or not!)....
