THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION
During my second month of night school, our professor gave a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Obviously this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper leaving the last question blank.
Before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count on our quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor. "In your lives, in your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care."
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her first name was Dorothy.

A real heart-pumper and nail-biter.

About half-way through the 4th quarter, I knew we’d lost it...or at least, were very close to losing it.
Then Warner and the red-birds turned it around. What a nail-biter!

I did!
But I was truly impressed with Kurt Warner giving first credit to Jesus, then his teammates and fans.

Both boys called here afterwards to whoop it up. Everyone seems to be real excited.
