BROTHERLY THUD

Football two-a-days are finally over, but the intensity at practice continues. On one practice field the other afternoon, there was an intrasquad scrimmage and the players were really mixing it up.

At one point, the ref became afraid for the safety of two boys on the line. He went over to the coach and said, “Hey, No. 53 and No. 50 are really going after each other!”

Irrational aggression due to testosterone overload?

Nah. The coach said, “That's because they’re brothers.”

Prayer request: A family with three delightful sons is moving into our neighborhood from Wyoming. The boys had their first day of school yesterday. At times, being a stranger was scary and overwhelming. Father God, put caring adults and friendly kids in their paths over the coming weeks. Give them confidence and courage by letting them know You are near. Make Ryan, Tyler and Jacob feel at home and fit right in, Lord. (Isaiah 51:5)
