Upward soccer

My kids have thoroughly enjoyed playing Upward Soccer so far this season! We are complete newbies when it comes to soccer (remember, we do football)! Where I grew up ER didn't even offer soccer as a sport and Chad played a grand total of one year - IN THE FIRST GRADE!! Needless I say, we can hardly give our kids any pointers and yet, they are holding their own! Cooper especially has put forth great effort and shows some potential (as much as a 5 year old can right?)!! Today Cooper had 3 goals and Brody had one! Miss Molly likes playing defense the best so she doesn't have to run as much!! However, she enjoys soccer so much that when she broke her wrist she was bummed that she might not get to play!! We wrapped her cast today so she wouldn't wack anyone with it and she went on her merry way!! We are really proud of all 3 kids and we will be sad to see the season end!!

Offer Them Christ



Two seperate trips to the Phillipines are being planned right now - my sister Tracey and her husband Todd and sweet friend Mabel leave this week and my dear friends Gini and Sheryl (among many others) leave July 6th. It's funny how we send friends and family to missions abroad to be a blessing to the people of extreme poverty or children and families who need to know Christ and they come back having been extremely blessed themselves!! Please joing me in prayer for both groups. Pray for their safety in traveling Please pray for God's hand to lead them each where they need to be and please pray for the children in the areas they will be visiting. I leave you with a link to my friend Sheryl's blog - please read it, be informed, and know exactly what's going on and how to pray.
