Peyton Was Three Years Old on Monday

Our oldest grandchild, Peyton, turned three years old on Monday. His birthday party will be on Wednesday, but Monday he had some great times with some friends and his family. I spent a little time with them last night. Happy Birthday Peyton!

Josh and his team had a huge win on Friday night, upsetting the powerful three-time consecutive 5-A State Champions. It was a major win as the Saints rose up and dominated the entire second half, stunning the whole stadium with their play. The defense was incredible, the offensive line was alive and in control, and the skilled players were performing exceptionally well. This was a major win for our program, one of the greatest in our history. Without a doubt, Greenwood has had one of the most dominant programs in Arkansas football these past three years. We defeated them once in that span, but Friday night the Saints did it again, but in a fashion unlike any team they have faced in these recent years. Conference play begins on Friday night, so time will tell how our team will do this year. Friday night was an encouragement to coaches, players, and fans.

In October, Nick and Meredith’s church will move into their new campus in Prosper, which is called Prestonwood North. This entire time, their congregation has been meeting in a school, doing weekly set-up and tear-down, but building a strong people of God. When they move into this campus, the church will begin a major period of growth. It will be exciting for all of them. Nick is in charge of the Adults at this campus. This campus has been touching 800 to 1,000 people a week while they have been meeting in the Prosper High School Gymnasium. It is exciting to see how God is working in so many places.

Pray for our country today.
