November 9, 10, and 11, all over Mexico, the church will be participating in a project called “Mi Esperanza” or “My Hope”. This is an enormous opportunity for the church to share the gospel with friends, relatives, neighbors, etc., in their homes.
We have been trying to figure out what we will be doing to participate in this, but there are already 19,000 evangelical pastors signed up to get on board with this. I think the first two nights will be the crusades, with music and preaching, and the third night is a movie produced by the Billy Graham Association. Please begin to pray now for this great opportunity here in Mexico.
Since Janell and Nathan are a little sick, we decided to rest on Sunday. We took the day off and really just watched football. It was a lot of fun, since we have Sunday Ticket. We can watch every NFL game on Sundays, with English commercials and commentators. It’s great. Watching football with fantasy football on your mind is pretty nerve racking, though. It gives you a lot more to think about. Oh, well, it was a good day.
Janell is sick, and Nathan is a little sick. So, we spent the day at home today. The only time I got out of the house was to take Nathan for a walk in his cool jogging stroller. I spent the morning cutting fruit so we could spend the day dehydrating it. It sure was a lot of work to do that. Now, I’ve got some dried fruit that hopefully I will eat instead of eating bad stuff. I’m sort of on a quest to get healthy. We’ll see. I’m sticking with the exercise part pretty well. I guess that means I can eat whatever I want.
The first game of the football season was last night, and in my opinion, it went a little like this:
Food – Very Good.
Friends – Very Good.
Game – Very Good.
Fantasy Football stuff – Good.
Results of the game – Poor.
Food – The poppers were awesome. The cheese sticks were good. The chicken was not so good (but the buffalo sauce was). We worked on the food all day after I got home from work. It was fun.
Friends – Rob came over to watch the first half. It was a lot of fun. He’s a fantasy football freak now. We had a good time watching as his defense (the Steelers) played pretty well.
Game – I think Miami played well. They played well enough to win, but in the end, it didn’t work out. At least the Steelers aren’t in their Division. They were in the game the whole time. I’m a little happy that Culpepper threw those interceptions at the end because he’s on the team I’m playing this week in fantasy football. Overall, it was a good night.
Fantasy Football – I only had one player playing last night, but he only scored one point. The team I’m playing had Culpepper and the Steelers running back. We’ll see how that works out this week.
Results of the game – Miami had that game! But then they gave up that 87 yard TD pass. Oh well. It’s only one game. They lost 28-17.
