Celebration

It was a great football Game at TU where the Golden Hurricanes routed Houston 56-7. My daughter enjoyed the last game we watched (TU-SMU) so we made sure to attend the last home game of the season. I'll be honest, I thought it would be a closer game but from the start, TU came out swinging and wouldn't let go I chalk it up to excellent playing by both the offense and defense, and the stupid penalties Houston brought on themselves. Anyway, pay attention to TU, they have the makings of a respectable football team. Congrats to Paul Smith who had a record day. After the game I took WW out on the field where she got a couple of the player's autographs, one was Paul Smiths'. My impression of the young man is that he seems very personable, not letting his college success go to his head. While signing autographs, he talked to the kids and asked if/who was going to church tomorrow. Later that night, WW told me he was a Christian. Mr. Smith, you earned your victory. Here is a word of advice, put the Lord first, then your wife. Love her like an Ephesians husband and the rest of your life will fall in line.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 31 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Eph 5:25-33 (NKJV)
Channel II and some other radio stations were also at the game. It was nice to see the news and weather personel and it was especially nice for TU to honor our veterans and hold a Toys for Tots toy drive. Those donating toys received a free football ticket. Anyway, congrats to TU and Paul Smith on an awesome game. You earned your victory.
