Almost a year and a half ago I read an article about Stephan Marbury and his shoe the Starbury. A month later I bought my first pair of Starbury’s for $14.98. Nearly every Friday I play with a group of guys. Initially the look on a few faces betrayed the typical, “I like your new [...]

She asked for prayer for her mother who expressed discouragement over the death of her sister. The issue lay in the number of her siblings left. At 82 she increasingly saw the reality of her own mortality.
Standing to officiate a funeral this past Wednesday, I could not help but think the gentleman whom we would [...]
Season ending evaluation … Starbury’s come through just fine …
Leaving the gym last night after our season ending loss in the tournament Jeremy asked, "How about those Starbury’s?" Doubtless I did not put them through the rigors Marbury has or does.

Away from home, the Cowboys were ambushed by the Red Raiders just a few days ago. This time the Cowboys played the part of the bully and beat up [...]
Keeping the game in perspective …
Nathan and Jason listen to WWLS the Sports Animal. I now listen in a bit every day. I am a glutton to hear the latest illogic by despairing Sooner fans. Last week the cry went out as to why Stoops did not insert Paul Thompson at quarterback to see if his “mobility” would offset the [...]
Weighing in on White …
