boise-field.jpgNever thought I’d see the day. I’m actually maxed out watching football. Must of watched 89 bowl games today. They had bowls I never heard of, in places I couldn’t find on a map.

And what’s with the blue carpet at Boise stadium? I kept trying to adjust the color on my TV. I mean, I’ve heard of blue grass in Kentucky but blue artificial turf in Boise?

My wife and I began the day with breakfast at a favorite coffee shop in Waikiki, the Wailana. We seldom go into Waikiki, it’s such a zoo, but the Wailana makes really scrumptious macadamia nut pancakes so we went early and beat the tourists. I drown them (the pancakes not the tourists) in a mixture of coconut and maple syrup Mmmm!

What? You don’t have coconut syrup where you live?

Spent some time reflecting on Oh-six. I lost my mother in April. She was ready to be with the Lord but it was still hard. Then our youngest left for college in August so it’s the empty nest for my wife and I.

What will Oh-seven bring? Can’t say. But I found a verse that jumped off the page. Think I’ll sort of adopt it for the coming year.

Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord is the one who goes before you. He will be with you; He will neither fail you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:8

I can say from past experience, He has never failed nor forsaken me. You either. And He’s not about to begin now.

Let’s keep our faith and trust in Him.

Trust in the Lord with all our heart… in all our ways acknowledge Him.

If we will, He will direct our paths.
