Josh and Amber were at the Cowboys game yesterday. He told me after the game that the loudest boo of the game came in the third quarter when they turned on the 3D effects on that huge HD TV hanging in Jerry’s palace, and that the loudest cheer of the day came when they turned off the 3D effects. Such is the life of Cowboys football these days, the atmosphere out shines the product. A head may be had over the decision to use 3D, but it won’t be the right head. A coach will surely lose his job after this season, finger pointing will be done, but the problem in the Cowboys Kingdom will remain; the GM is the worst in the business now that Matt Millen is no longer in Detroit. The GM must go, but that ain’t gonna happen.   

On a much lighter note, with Josh and Amber taking in the game it was my privilege to go and take care of Major and Milla for the day. The day was a true blessing for ole Grumpers. Major and I played catch for a while. We watched the Cowboys debacle. We ate shrimp cocktail, Sunchips, and cold cereal for sup last night. Miss Milla and I played, talked and I helped her walk. We shared the experience of a stinky diaper. We gave each other a lot of sugar, and I got in my workout for the week. Carrying that girl up and down sixteen steps should become part of the Biggest Loser workout.  

It amazes me how God works. I have spent the last few days wondering what I should do next. I am having a hard time finding speaking engagements. I have begun to wonder if Everyday Christianity has had its run.  I have been contemplating getting a “real” job. Then, I went to worship yesterday morning and was approached by four individuals at four different times, and each time I was told how God had used me to touch either them or someone they knew within the last few weeks. I went to work at the Allen Events Center Friday evening and was approached by the man I work for at the Dr. Pepper Ballpark in Frisco, here is what he said. “Hey Grumpy I didn’t know you had written a book until after the season, but I got a copy of your book. I haven’t read it yet but I sent it to my mom and dad and they told me it was a very good book, and they wanted me to tell you that the next time I saw you.” Receiving “atta-boys” helped me to see that God has a purpose for me.

“Grumpy.”

“What?”

“Trust in the Lord’s timing.”

“I know, but I get impatient, I’m ready to bust loose.”

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
       and lean not on your own understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge him,
       and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

Till next time,

Grump
