February 23 – “Ustoppable”

Early morning wake-up call on Saturday.  We had to get to the gym for Luke’s big basketball game.  I have no idea what the final score was.  They don’t keep an official tally, but it was a close one.  Luke scored several baskets, most on steals and the subsequent breakaway layups.  I was impressed with his attention to detail on defense.  His arms were either straight up or straight out to the side.  No chance of a foul call on that one.

After Luke’s game we went to lunch with the family, and that included Cary and KayLynn, who were in from Arlington to say hi to the boys.  We went to the favorite pizza place where we could eat good food and watch the Baylor basketball game on their TV.  Exciting stuff.  Number one Baylor ended up losing to number three Kansas by just three points.  It will be interesting to see where in the standings that will put Baylor now.

Caleb’s basketball game started after lunch.  And his team was … unstoppable.  In fact, the opponents held a celebration when they finally scored a basket.  And that was the first and last time they did.  I think the final score was 23-2.  Caleb played some tenacious defense and even dove for a few loose balls.  Zak and I had some coaching “suggestions” from the sidelines, but Nani made sure we kept them to ourselves.  Meanwhile AnnaGrace had her Baylor cheerleader pompoms on the sideline.  Very cute.  All in all I would say the Vaughan family produced some pretty good kids.  Not that I know of a proud grandparent anywhere …

Matthew 5:3 says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

Father, thank you for our safe and uneventful trips both there and back.  IT is always good to have you along.  Amen.
