gonna' be a long season.....

If you're a Titans fan, the NFL season could be a long one. After scoring on their opening drive, the defense gave up 34 points in the loss to the Steelers. Granted, Pittsburgh has a much better team. But the defense seemed to be lost most of the day. Tackles were missed or not finished off for most of the game. I watched part of the Ravens/Colts game last night and imagined what Baltimore's defense would do to our offense.

Centennial won again Friday night. It got a little scary in the 4th, but they were able to pull out another win. The bride and I were able to have dinner out alone at J. Alexanders before the ballgame.

The bride and I worked with some of our youth group from church Saturday. Our task was to drive 6 kids around our neighborhood and collect canned goods for Graceworks. Their food pantry has really taken a hit because of all the needs created by the hurricane. There were about 50 kids that showed up that morning, and we were able to collect enough to fill up the beds of 3 pickup trucks.

Speaking of Graceworks, that place is unbelievably busy since the hurricane. People were lined up in their cars and trucks to donate food, clothes, furniture and all kinds of other items. The bride has worked there over the past week or so, and several families from the gulf coast have come through there. She said that some of their stories will just break your heart.
