Conflict In The Family

When Jesus spoke of 'father against son and son against father, etc.', the game of football had not even been invented! But, in this family, is it ever true.
Christopher, Larry and Christie's youngest son, texted me Saturday with a terse, challenging message: "Are you ready! Go Texas!" To the uninitiated, this is the 'Red River Shootout' held each fall at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Of course, the opposing team is MY Oklalhoma! Chris backs Texas because, after all, he discovered the U.S. at Houston about 12 years ago and somhow he thinks that gives him braggin' rights.
But that's not all. Larry, the dad, is a fervent backer of the Georgia Bulldogs (we are not doing too hot this year), and Carson, the older son, is sold on the Auburn Tigers. So some Saturdays, the remote gets a real workout going from channel to channel.
It is all great fun enjoyed by all participants. (I 'specially enjoyed it because OU won!).
But there is one thing this family agrees on without wavering, each and every one is convinced that Jesus Is Lord! The Bible, God's own Word, is the centerpiece, and while our energies flow in several directions--steel mill challenges, home school teacher, students with regular chores around the house, reading exciting Christian adventure stuff, working in Children's Church, preaching the gospel or taking up our 18" on the pew, we are each and all devoted to Christ Jesus.
In all, life is is moving along like a Disneyland roller coaster; lots of ups and downs at breakneck speed, thrills at every twist, but headed for a sure destination.
More later.
