Texas High School Football Stadiums / Fields Visited - 102

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 10!

Sunday night was the first time that she was asked to lead one of the worship songs and she did a great job.

Obviously, it isn't about her, but still you have to have some God-given talent and ability - as well as confidence - to be able to step up serve in that capacity.

She had received some very well-received positive feedback from leadership on Monday of how she did as well as some fun feedback from a couple of eighth graders at school who were in the service Sunday evening.

I think for those students at the school where she's a counselor at that it is a statement that she walks the walk, so to speak, as to what she teaches and shares during the week, and of course, as a Dad, I'm grateful that God has her serving where she's at and in the capacities that she does.

My prayers are always for God to keep her safe, and to keep her in His perfect will.

RECOMMENDED READING

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.
