We had a great first day on vacation. We played 45 holes of golf at Berryville, Arkansas. Debbie is playing great golf! I'm improving each round. We are staying in a motel on the 7th fairway of the golf course. The pool was great after 45 holes of golf. We also ate at our favorite BBQ joint in all the world, Bubba's in Eureka Springs. The ribs melted in your mouth.

Rocketdyne

We placed membership this morning at the Rocketdyne Church of Christ in Neosho. We have been visiting there for the past three months. We have been impressed with the Bible preaching, exciting worship and friendly congregation. We had dinner today with several from Rocketdyne. For all my basketball buds one of those we had lunch with today was Cletus Green former basketball coach at NEO and Southwest Missouri State. He recruited former York College All-American Erik Gray to SWMS back in 1982.

Weekend Movie

Brian and I saw the movie "Source Code" on Saturday evening. The girls went to see Water for Elephants. Source Code is about a decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens who wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In an assignment unlike any he's ever ...known, he learns he's part of a government experiment called the "Source Code," a program that enables him to cross over into another man's identity in the last eight minutes of his life. With a second, much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, Colter re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack. Good movie.

Happy Birthday Debbie

Happy Birthday to my number one girl and best friend. She turns 50 years young today! Yes, she is older than me. Love you Debbie!
