Two weeks ago we had another installment of "Old Guys" vs. "Young Guys" football. This time the "Old Guys" had held at least one practice that I know of and had ordered themselves shirts. Well hey, at least they looked good, right?

I was on the sidelines generally close to what was going on to get the shots I needed and ended the day with a bruise the size of my fist on my upper thigh from the place where one of the guys cleats met my leg. For not being in the game, I'd say it was a rather impressive, and very painful injury. I spent most of that night and the next night with ice on it. Two weeks later it doesn't really hurt anymore, but the bruise is still very much there and I'm glad it's not warm enough for shorts just yet.

As an aside, I will be in Des Moines February 27 - March 4, for the EFCA's Central District Conference at Valley Church. If I have not already let you know that I wanted to pass the info along. I'd love to see as many people as I can while I'm back because I didn't get there during Christmas. I'll be at Valley all morning Sunday, March 1, and may have some free time between conference events. Please let me know if you'll be around and we'll catch up!
