FINAL TWO, TIMES TWO

Boy, what are the odds? Our eldest daughter Jordan is a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Their men’s basketball team is playing in the NCAA finals tonight. She says the campus went wild when the team won the semifinal game, and everyone massed on Franklin Street, the big campus hangout, for a bonfire and pep rally that was pretty crazy.

On top of that, our next daughter Neely attended Baylor University in Waco, Texas, until this semester, when she transferred to her home state university, but has kept in close contact with her Baylor buds. Their women’s basketball team also has attained the NCAA finals. Students at Baylor are also going crazy with pride and excitement.

Our family is two for two in two Final Two’s! Guess you could say we’re . . . hooping it up.

Prayer request: Comfort and sustain all Catholics and all believers in the death of the much-beloved Pope John Paul II. We suspect his crown in heaven is laden with extra jewels, indeed. Father, we plead for wisdom and discernment for those who will select the next Pope. May the choice be Your choice, and may that important world leader be the best-ever representative of the Body of Christ, the Rock of Ages. (Matthew 16:18)
