Workouts are useful,
but a disciplined life in God
is far more so. (First
Timothy 4:8)
Dear Priscilla,
Seems I write on game day, like today’s home game against the West Virginia Mountaineers. You have turned me into a Baylor Bears fan. I see it will be nationally televised. I’ll be watching.
It is not only big game day, but cousins’ day: Owen and Anna flying all the way to Waco just to be with you. Grammy and I were just with Owen and family watching Adam play football, and Elizabeth play volleyball (your sport), and Owen play varsity basketball. At the same time Anna celebrated her Senior Day in water polo. As much as I love all that sports stuff, the Apostle reminds us that there is something even more important: To live a life disciplined by our faith and trust in God. That is the real game of life.
Owen’s top priority is to go to a school where he can play ball. Remind him, for me, that there are other reasons to choose a college. You might be forging a trail to Baylor. Your cousins are all cued up: Anna next year and then Owen the following, then Sarah and Joshua, and then Elizabeth. Counting you, that makes six grandchildren in a row making their matriculating decisions. It is a big decision; don’t you think?
Love, Papa
