Well, I haven't really blogged about real life in a while... because i've been super busy. Also Texas has gone 2 weeks without an arrest... this takes away a lot of my blogging fodder ;)

What's gone on lately for the Moores.

This last weekend my best friend from High School came in with his wife and stayed with us while they were visiting his family. Matt and Kristen Tonne are some of the best friends that my wife and I could ask for. They are sweet and godly people and every time I'm around them it's a blessing. I could not have asked for my best bud to have married a better girl. I love waking up early on weekends and cooking for Jen, and I got to do it this week for them as well and it was a good time had by all.

Jen recently came across an old friend of ours who we hadn't seen in church for a while. The last thing we knew she was dating a guy who was attending another church and upon not seeing her, we just figured she was attending church there still. 2 weeks ago she showed back up @ CHBC and Jen earnestly asked how she was doing... not just casually. And got an earful! The girl had been walking in some things unglorifying to the Lord and had hit bottom before showing back up to church. Jen agreed to start meeting with her and after a week of several people's prayer and effort this girl gave into the Lord's calling and surrendered her life to the Lord early this last sunday morning. I know that's been exciting for her and she's doing her best to be a good friend and mentor to her. She's also doing a great job raising my future linebacker. He's healthy and happy. I know she loves what she does and it makes me happy to be in a position to let her do that?

Jackson is doing .... well what can I say.... the kid rocks. He's such a happy baby and every day when I get home from work Jen says "who was that?" and i hear a coo followed by some rapid pitter patter of feet and hands hitting the tile to get around that corner. Whenever he sees where I am he stops smiles and high tails it to me and burrows his head into my chest when I pick him up. It's one of the greatest feelings in the world I could ever have. We're not walking by ourselves yet... but we can crawl with the best of them ;)

Everything's been pretty busy for both of us lately (which would explain why I've only blogged about article stuff.) I really think I'm going to start a separate blog for sports stuff. Why? This one needs to be about my family and what the Lord is doing... and while I'm absolutely passionate about sports... they need to be separate. I have really been thinking about why I love college sports so much (specifically college football) and if I obsess too much about it. The answer is "Yes. I do obsess about it too much." But I wouldn't be a fan I wasn't. But I've also given thought to what I could do if I could do anything in the world... and to be honest... if I could do anything in the world I would be a College football writer . While I'm not going to drop my job and pursue that as a career, I want to start taking it seriously as well as cutting off my sports blogging from my personal and spiritual life. It'll kick off sometime next week. I'm taking submissions for the title. It turns out "Every Day should be Saturday" is already taken by a Florida Gator blogger. I thought I was original. crap. So something catchy and sporting will be appreciated.


Well that's it for now. I hope the Lord finds you all well.

I think it would be easier to be a NFL writer, especially fantasy. All you have to do is Start *insert big name here*

Don't start *any QB for Miami, Chiefs, etc*

Ignore any rookies who didn't play for USC or Top 10 team
