Notes from the Weekend

Yesterday was a wonderful Father's Day. I have to pinch myself to make sure that this is real. I am so, so blessed.

And I am so proud of our church! Last week as I witnessed so much work being put into reaching our community through Vacation Bible School. And this morning, I am seeing 30 of our members off to Brazil, where they will be involved in mission work there for 10 days. What an incredible undertaking for a church our size. It is exciting to be involved in God's kingdom activity.

On another note: It was a sorry weekend for sports! The US Open was the worst I have ever seen. I don't think anyone won the thing. Goeff Oglivy simply won it by default. Colen Montgomery has a chance to win his 1st major: Double bogey on 18. Phil Mickelson comes to 18 with a one shot lead: Double bogeys 18. It was pathetic.

And the Mavs! I'm hearing a lot of crying about the officiating, and it does seem to be slanted. BUT- the Mavs appear to be choking big-time. Dirk, where are you? You are supposed to be a superstar. A go-to guy. And you have disappeared from the radar!

Oh, well. Maybe their fortunes will change when they come home to Dallas.

......not only that - but the NASCAR race was shortened by rain. Yet with all these mishaps, Jimmie Johnson still leads in points. (sorry Rick - I take the opportunity when it presents itself.)

I agree with Josh! We were talking about the same thing. I also agree that Dirk needs to step up. We desperately need him. And what's up with not calling a back court violation at the end of the game. That would have given us the ball and probably a different outcome. I said something about it to my family and they didn't think it was, but then Cuban made a comment about it also on the news last night. I agree we should be playing better basketball, but it's kind of hard to beat the other team and the refs.
