First of all, I must apologize for the lengthy delay in posting my latest entry. My work schedule has been a bear, and I've been busy with other things on my days off.
Next, some updates:
- I got baptized (again) on Sunday, October 12 and finally joined a Sunday School class.
- Danielle (my wife) had a bone marrow biopsy performed on October 27. We'll get the results this coming Monday. We hope that she doesn't have leukemia, but something that is treatable and curable, so please pray for her.
Moving on... I am sad to see Philip Fulmer stepping down as head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers at the end of the season. He was, and will always be in my mind, a great coach and human being. His first eight seasons were good (two SEC titles and a National Championship in '98), but his record since then had not been that great. I hate to see him go, but it was his time and he handled it like everything else: with class (and a $6M buyout!).
Now to the hot topic of the day: the Presidental election. The title says it all! (OK, so maybe I'm overdoing it.) The point is, the candidate I voted for didn't win. I know that my sister-in-law is probably freaking out because she believes that Obama is the Anti-Christ; I'm not sure I agree with all that.
Am I disappointed? Yes. Am I worried about the future of our nation? Not yet. After all, we as Americans need to stand behind our leaders. We don't have to like them, but they need our support.
As Obama said in closing of his acceptance speech, "May God bless the United States of America." Amen, Mr. President (-elect).

Love in Christ,
