Kelly and I are so excited to go to the University of Texas Longhorns first football game of the season tonight! I love college football. We had a tough time finding tickets and our good friend, Jim, gave me a contact and we got two excellent seats on the 45-yard line about 37 rows up.
We've been watching the Colorado Golden Buffs v. the Colorado State Rams at home on tv, getting pumped up for tonight's game. It's halftime and both offenses are doing great.
For all you Longhorns fans, here's a little something for you, and I hope we get to hear a lot of tonight, after every UT touchdown!
(to the tune of I've been working on the railroad...)
The eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the livelong day.
The eyes of Texas are upon you,
You cannot get away.
Do not think you can escape them,
At night or early in the morn'.
The eyes of Texas are upon you,
Till Gabriel blows his horn!
I'm crossing my fingers for a fantastic season watching Colt McCoy and the UT football team!
Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August? My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things. This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool! As each girl shares
