Stumbling About for Truth

It was my son, Chris' birthday on Saturday and we traveled to Norman, Oklahoma to watch the season opener game between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Utah State Aggies. We have some friends that live in the area that have tailgate parties at every home game and we were fortunate enough to be able to join them again as we did last season 3 times. Chris is a rabid OU fan and we had great seats for this game - 3 rows up from the field in the home end zone. Both he and I made some memories there and I don't think either of us will forget that game and what it felt like to be so close to the action. When DeMarco Murray broke open down the left sideline for one of his touchdowns (63 yards on this one) he was running right at us. It was awesome! Chris was going wild! It was well worth the extra funds we spent to get the seats. There was another blessing though that will make this trip memorable. My wife Trudy and other son Zachary came with us to the Norman, but were not planning on goi

A few years ago I posted a story about Kim Phuc, the little Vietnamese girl pictured in the now famous photo running down the road after being Napalmed in Vietnam. The naked girl in the video is Ms. Phuc. Here is some video of the same event. The consequences of war are harsh and unforgiving even to innocent children. BTW: Here is a video of Kim telling her story. Here is another one of forgiveness.

"Well Hi Jesus! How are you?" "Fine, fine. I am blessed," Jesus said. "So what do you think? How are we doing? We have worked hard, made shrewd investments, taken care of ourselves... I mean... pretty good huh?" Jesus said, "Yes. Yes. Very impressive. You have done quite well for yourselves. You are a great country. I have admired you from afar."
