Great message today in John 20 from Dr. Bill Blocker, the president of Houston's College of Biblical Studies, at Houston's First @HoustonsFirst as the first of the "Challenges & Joys" Summer Sabbatical Series.
Celebrated my daughter's birthday - after running this morning - at The Cheesecake Factory.
Incredible, accomplished young woman.
Her birthday gift was her entry fee for the BMW Dallas Marathon in Dallas. It will be marathon #7 for her.
My 10th year to run the Seven Hills Running Club Memorial Day 5K at Ken Johnson's house in the Timberwilde Subdivision in Huntsville.
My daughter, Waverly, is seen here with Ken. They share May birthdays.
She ran well - beat my time from '25 - for the new family PR.
Cypress Creek Park at Timberlane parkrun on Saturday, May 23, 2026.
Three years ago Monday that I started the process to drop two pants sizes - 38 to 34 - and maintain it.
Two movies today in the theater.
"I Love Boosters" - See this only if you have some type of movie theater unlimited package.
"The Sheep Detectives" - Pretty good.
My daughter was excited to tell me yesterday that four youngsters of her first class of second graders at her current place of employment graduated from the eighth grade there. It was a joy to hear the excitement in her voice of being able to see their growth during that time.
BOOK | Finished "Strangers: A Memoir of Marrage" on my Kindle while working out this evening. Heard the author recently on @NPR's Book of the Day podcast and when it popped up in my @BookBub list on Friday, I purchased it. This was a good, yet at times fairly tough to read book.
MOVIE | Watched this today via Amazon Prime, which is based on a diminutive Monterrey, Mexico team which made it to and won the 1957 Little League World Series.
Hard-core movie reviewers panned it a little, but the movie actually followed the '57 facts perfectly.
