I will preface this post by telling you of Brendin's and my many years of arguing about a particular baseball player. His name is John McDonald, (Johnny Mac) and he is a short stop for the Blue Jays. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this guy because just about EVERY TIME he plays, he makes some sort of amazing play that makes the Highlights. To me, that is a great record. Brendin says, the guy can't hit. My thinking is: that is what the other guys such as Wells, (I forget who else is on the team) are paid to do. They should be able to make great plays at the plate. But McDonald is an OUTSTANDING fielder!! So, because his hitting abilities are apparently not that great, the manager rarely puts him in the lineup, which (we are thinking in the flesh here) makes my blood boil!!!:) Brendin just laughs at me!!

Anyway, back to Calvary Baptist. The Assistant pastor there is married to a lady who is John McDonald's wife's BEST FRIEND!!! Isn't that neat?! This family has actually had dinner with the McDonalds!! So I asked the assistant pastor if he would give the McDonalds our prayer card, and tell them that I am one of his greatest fans. And he said he WOULD, and he would get him to autograph something for me. My family couldn't believe I did that!! I don't know if it will ever happen, but it did cause quite a bit of excitement in my life for a little bit. Brendin said, "Mom, if he does send an autograph of some sort, it's mine, O.k.?" I am thinking, we'll see about that!!:) I am usually not into celebrities or autographs or anything, but this is Johnny Mac we're talking about!!

Well, I better go check on the young uns!

Have a great day!
