UPDATES

It isn't really housecleaning, more updating to the list over there on the right. First, I'm somewhate apologetic and very excited at the same time to add a link to the G.U. Women's Basketball team. Part of it is my fault for not following these ladies before; I mean, I have a daughter and we occassionally like to watch a women's game together. When I left Spokane for SWTS, the G.U. Women were pretty much cellar-dwellers, and, not being the hard-core basketball fan, I didn't really pay attention to them. And then there's the fact that unless it's a big-time program (Tennessee, U-Conn, Stanford), women's sports get ignored until tournament time; and the G.U. women were never tournament bound.

HOWEVER -- I happened to be watching ESPN this morning and noticed on their Bottom Line (that score ticker that runs across the screen) that the Gonzaga Women beat Portland last night. Not only that, but they are ranked #23. WOW!! Who knew?? So, with apologies to the women out there for not giving equal time to them, I now have a permanent link to the women of Gonzaga.

I've also added Jim to my links. He's a gay male who is exploring his call, and his blog focuses on "spiritual and practical reflections about discerning and living into his vocational hopes." He's got some interesting things to say, so go check him out.

And finally, I'm not sure if I mentioned this in a previous post, but the update from Dan's family is that the neck surgery went well and the prognosis is for an almost-full recovery. I don't want to say "full recovery," since that is speculative at best when you're dealing with neck injuries, but it's looking good and the family is in good spirits.

And now, it's time to throw another load of laundry in the wash and try to bang out a sermon for Sunday.
