Forever Strong

If you like sports movies like I do, do yourself a huge favor and rent "Forever Strong". It's based on the Highland High Ruby team here in Salt Lake City. Their record is something like 361-9. Yes, that's not a mistake -- 361-9!

Highland High dominates high school ruby. Here's a great quote from their coach Larry Gelwix:

"It's not about ruby, it's about young men. It's not about building a championship team, it's about building championship boys. Boys who will be forever strong."

A good father-son movie for sure!

This N' That

Haven't blogged in a while. I have reached my second weight goal! Weighed in at 163 a few days ago! Walking between 12,000 - 18,000 steps a day. I can now get in my 34 waist pants! I feel really good. Now, I want to get down to 160, maybe 158? We'll see.

Getting geared up for a trip to the Holy Land. I've never flown overseas in my life! Not looking forward to 14 hours in a metal tube at 35,000 feet. This trip would be on my "bucket list" if I had such a list. Do you have such a list?

I was surprised to learn that Creedence Clearwater Revival only recorded for four years. Man, they recorded a lot great music in just four years! Some great tunes, for sure. Anyone else make such an impact in just four years?

Got a box out of my closet at the church. Found some old Marvin Phillips sermons on cassette tapes. Been listening to them in my car. (yes, my '96 Camry has a cassette player). I love to hear him preach. What a great spirit! So positive. So encouraging! Good stuff.

Who is the speaker that lifts your spirit? Now with the avenues like web sites, pod-casting, - you can hear any speaker you want! Got any favorites?
