Tate Taylor Malakoff High School WR/LB

So it was a typical trip to Tyler, which ALWAYS includes the bookstore. Except it didn't turn out typical. I was over looking at the art, clearance, well just wandering really. Steven and Tate went straight to get the new Dave Campbell's issue, which is why we were there. There were none on the shelf, just an empty spot, so Tate went ask an employee to see if there were some in the back. Meanwhile, a news crew comes in to take pictures/ video of the same issue. Steven talks with them about Tate checking on more. They meet Tate and ask if they can take some pictures and video. After that they ask if they can interview him outside, after they are done shooting inside the store.

Well, I missed all this, but eventually I wandered up and I got to see the interview outside. I was very proud. He was well spoken. They never really told him what they would ask or what to expect and he did well. I only wish I had videoed the entire thing because, of course, there were several questions that didn't make it on air. I think it turned out great and I don't know many people who have been interviewed on TV so it was pretty exciting for him... here it is

Sisters...

Just a couple of things (out of the many) that my sister has given me for no reason at all... They catch my attention frequently and bring a smile with a prayer of thankfulness.

My sister sent a text bringing my attention to this awesome truth ...

My Soul Waits for the Lord

A Song of Ascents.

Psalm 130

1Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.
8 And he will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.

My sister brought me these wonderful treats back from her trip to Seattle...pictured with some special memories with her :)

My sister...I am sure that most of the time she is completely unaware of how important she is to me. I love you Marci! Thanks for always being such a huge motivator and fan:)
