holiday season is upon us so another late night post. I was privileged to attend the retirement party for a lovely gentleman who has served our county and our state for several years as he concludes his county council tenure. It was a moving experience and I am grateful that I was included. Tonight I ask prayers for our freshman players and all the staff and coaches who work so hard to give us the team we desire. May they find love and affection with their peers and loved ones. May their hard work prove fruitful. May they find satisfaction in their efforts. I also ask for traveling mercies for them as they return home after tomorrow's game.
