Reflections
I am currently reading “Your Detroit Tigers – the Great, the Good, the Top 400” by Tom Gage with Alex Avila (thanks, Keith). While I expect all of you know we are celebrating our nation’s 250th anniversary, I am not sure how many know that the Detroit Tigers have been around for half of those years. Founded in 1901 (that’s why season ticket holders are called “The 1901 Society”), our MLB team is celebrating its 125th anniversary. This has prompted me to do some reflecting upon my life.

Sudden Turns
I was out making a run to Jersey Mike’s when we were surprised by a sudden, and very brief, storm. Monica saw our grill cover getting blown away and made a successful dash to rescue it. However, upon returning up the deck steps she slipped and jammed her little toe against the boards. A week later she is still limping with what appears to be a broken toe. Those sudden turns in life can sure be a pain!

Almost like the Good Old Days
Three sermons in five days! Add to it a struggling Tiger team and the Red Wings going back to the drawing board. And then there is the weather … I’ll leave it at that. Add one more sermon at the end of the week and I will be 100% ready for vacation … almost like the good old days!
