I attended game 3 of the NBA Finals. A life long dream and my first and only Finals game. It was a very sterile atmosphere. As the article notes, it felt like a random January game. I felt more electricity on my couch from tonight’s TV and arena presentation than in person in ‘23

Brent sets the stage and welcomes us in to an all-time classic college football grudge match from South Bend.
Yes, Jake Scott got 2 big INTs to get the MVP, but Manny got 17 tackles in Super Bowl VII (10 depending who you ask) which is high for a DT. Should’ve been the MVP. A legend. Far too many of the 72’ers are leaving us 😢 RIP
Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

I don’t watch much NBA basketball outside the Heat. But can someone explain to me why the MVP of the league was on the bench for the last play of regulation?
70 years of marriage for my parents. Eleven children, 68 grandchildren, 109 great grandchildren with 11 on the way. One of the grandsons is a priest and celebrated a Mass for them while other grandsons served. A schola by great granchildren. We filled the church. Blessed!!!
Do not be defeated if you realize you are moving away from God and a strong spiritual life. Jesus assures us that his Holy Spirit dwells within us and will never abandon us. It is never too late to return to the Lord. He is always there to embrace you in his love and mercy.
