THEY BEET DOOK; NOW FOR THE FINAL FOUR

Our whole family took our oldest daughter, Jordan, to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill at the start of her freshman year. It was fun to tour what many say is the prettiest college campus in the country, see her dorm room, and soak up a little Tar Heel culture.

One of our fondest memories is the orientation session in a huge auditorium. We were all informed that the big basketball rival over in the next town, Durham, is a university that is spelled “Dook.” A popular T-shirt on the UNC campus is “Friends Don’t Let Friends Go to Dook.”

Jordan and friends have had a lot of fun with sports rivalries over these past four years, and she was in the Dean Dome the other night when UNC beat “Dook” in a fabulous finish.

Now it’s on to the NCAA’s and what some are saying could be a national championship. What a thrill for our Nebraska girl to be a part of it. Although she’s one of those classic fans who’d trade an NCAA basketball title any old day if the Huskers could beat THEIR “Dook,” also known as the “Okies.”

Prayer request: Soon, a friend’s friend is going to make her first attempt at leading someone to the Lord. His name is Gene. She has asked that we pray for his heart to be tendered, and for her to have great boldness to share Who the Lord Is and what He has done for her. Father, we also pray for protection and energy for this woman, who has such a light in her eyes to tell people about Your Son. May all of us Christians follow her example, and start sharing our faith. (Ezekiel 36:27)
