Texas High School Football Stadiums / Fields Visited - 93

I covered Willis Wildkat football for many years for the Conroe Courier.

I know that there are a number of stadiums that I witnessed games in, but until I can feel reasonably certain that I saw a game there I won't add it to the list below.

Below where you see "1980s" or "1990s" listed, those are ones that I have no doubt about -- again either covering games for The Courier or doing broadcasts for the Texas Sports Radio Network with Lynn Michaels.

If I can identify the first game that I saw, aside from being a part of multiple games seen in one day at a stadium, I will post the score from that contest.

That's My Girl, Part 9!

Two neat stories from the week.

She doesn't promote herself, nor tell anybody that she helps to lead worship.

We've talked many times about how she can be an influence to a young girl who may see her on the stage and that it may encourage them to be the best that they can be in Christ.

She told me that she saw a former student after the service that was now going to another school, but that there were two young girls - maybe first graders, she shared with - that said, "You sang so good!"

Now, she didn't feel better about herself from that, but rather that, "Yes, these young people pay attention."

The other was that a co-worker, who normally attends the earlier service, was watching the 11 a.m., saw her on there, and never knew that she helped lead worship.  

But later remarked in the office during this week that she had seen her on there.

I'm grateful that she has the opportunity to serve and that people trust her heart, effort and abilities.
