The Right Path

There's no better feeling than knowing for certain that you're on the right path. The sun is shining, God is smiling down and you just simply feel confident about the direction your life is headed. Life is not always like that, we get a lot of things thrown at us to get us off our walk with Christ. I've been there, struggling to figure it all out. It takes prayer, Christian friends, Bible study and trying over and over to do what God is trying so hard to tell you. I wish it were simple and my prayer is for each person struggling to get on the right path to consistently pray for guidance and wisdom and then to pay attention to how God is leading. He really will open doors for us when we are to go through and he'll close those doors that He doesn't want us to enter. Do you feel like you're beating your head against a closed door sometime? Maybe he's closed that door.......look for the open door or window. It's always there, maybe just harder to recognize.

Read a daily devotional, the Upperroom is wonderful for guidance and encouragement.

Persistence pays. Remember the Bible verse of the persistent widow and the dishonest judge. Doesn't the Bible say that if even this judge gave this widow her justice, won't God do that for us?

The game Saturday was a lot of fun. We especially enjoyed seeing all the servicemen there at the stadium enjoying the festivities. And I want to make one thing clear.....I did not boo Mike Hartline. I was actually getting a cold drink at the time. Shame on anyone who boos a Kentucky player. I believe it had to be a small minority who did that. I look forward to seeing both quarterbacks improve and blossom into confident experienced leaders just like Andre Woodson did.

It was a lot of fun seeing Jacob Tamme catch a pass in the Colts game last night. I pray that Andre is given his chance in the pros. I know one team in particular who needs a leader on and off the field. I don't know anything about the Cincinnati Bengals except that they seem to have a lot of problems. It would sure be nice to have Andre playing close to Lexington. I believe his fan base would swarm to see him play. It wasn't too many years ago that I was telling everyone I knew that Kentucky should hire this really charismatic coach that I got familiar with while in Rhode Island. I'm still glad that someone higher up knew about Rick Pitino. I think Kentucky benefitted from that. I have good suggestions from time to time.

I think I'm done, you have a great day. I'm ready to start contacting my classmates about next years reunion, be ready. Have a great day. luv, Susan
