Spuddogs—Season 4

SPUDDOGS4

With the NFL season nearly upon us, it's time to start gearing up for the annual Eidsmoe/Johnson rivalry.

Each year, the Eidsmoe's and Johnson's compete in a free-for-all to see who can correctly "predict" the outcome of the most NFL regular season games. It has been really fun even for those who aren't interested in football. Just participating in something together has been a great conversation piece and a good way to get bragging rights (or lose them).

The winner receives a traveling trophy call the JETT (Johnson Eidsmoe Traveling Trophy). It's a miniature football helmet on a plaque with their name engraved. They also autograph the helmet along with the year they won. (I'd show you a picture but I haven't won it yet.) :(

The first three winners have been Kevin, Leif, and Bruce. Our list of competitors include Kevin, De, Josh, Bruce, Deb, Leif, Cyri, Erin, and myself. This year I'm hoping to wrangle Emily and Danae into the group since they are holding us back and we can't really have fun until they join...But I'm not going to result to peer pressure. ;)

Anyway it's fun to know that every year people are looking forward to it. So even if our respective teams (Vikings and Packers) have a down season, we can still control our own destiny and have no one to blame but ourselves if we lose.

Here is the answer to the last regular post. I've heard some of you have found all 21. Good. Next time I'll make it harder for all of you smarty-pants'!


P.S. Happy Birthday Dad!

GOD'S MESSAGE FOR ME TODAY
They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt;
There is no one who does good, not even one.
—Psalm 14:3

HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO MY LIFE?
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Paul echos this point in Romans 3:23. The psalmist even goes on to say in Psalm 16:2, "I have no good besides You." We must put all of our hope and faith in God. People will always let us down because no one is perfect. Husbands, wives, friends, and family. God is good, we are not.

BE IN PRAYER FOR:
WITCHCRAFT IN THE TWIN CITIES

There are an estimated 20,000 witches of all types who live in our metro area who meet in 179 different witch covens/groups. Many witches are drawn to the Twin Cities area because of the many lakes and rivers, which have spiritual significance to them.
