Grandview Park Baptist Football Plays in Substate

The Grandview Park Baptist Defenders football team have qualified to play Wedneday night in the substate game. Unfortunatley - these teams are spread far across the state so we are traveling to Harmony Iowa, 143 miles from Des Moines. We hoping to leave a little early and do a little Iowa exploring through some small Iowa towns. One not so small, and very interesting - Fairfield. We might have some organic foods, try a bit of leviatating to get in the mood for watching the Defenders kick butt at Harmony! It seems wrong for a team from "harmony" being too vicious! Picture is from Sr. Night, last Friday.

Senior Night At the Football Game

Child No. 3 will be honored tonite at the Grandview Park Baptist football game, along with many of his teammates. It's hard to imagine how quickly 18 years pass when you look back. Way to go John, and kick butt tonite!

Breast Cancer Awareness Hits Home

October is Breast Cancer Awareness. It's hard to miss, most stores have displays of pink items for sale. It's been hard to ignore in my family. My sister was diagonsed with breast cancer in August and has been waging a tough battle through the treatments issued by her doctors. Of course she urged my to get my mammogram, and I did. Found out this week that I too have breast cancer. I'm grateful that the options for treatment have progressed to where they are, but there's still research to be done. Thanks to all the people who give to research and to the faithful people who pray for cancer patients.
