Limit's Learned

I have been told all my life "learn your limitations". Well now that I am 71 years old I think I have l earned. Today I got the bright idea to mow and weed eat my yard. This was at 1 pm when you should be in the house cooling it. It normally takes me about 1 hour to do that much work, today it took 2 hrs. I would work until the heat got me, I would take a break and the go back. Finally after 2 hrs I was done, but that's OK I learned my limitations.





Last night we had our weekly Manatee HS football radio show. We meet every Tuesday at LeRoy Selmons on cortez road at 6 pm. Coach Kinnan and his staff go over the game from Friday night. We have people call in and ask the coaches questions. We also have some of the players come and we feed them and have interviews with them. It is a lot of fun and everyone seems to enjoy it very much.

The pictures that you see are of Coach Kinnan and the radio staff during the live broadcast. One shot is of Coach Rod Frazier and player of the week Mike Blakely. Steve Gulash is the coach seated by Coach Kinnan with our announcer Dave Bristow. Other shots are of the crowd and the big TV screen that we watch the replay of the game on.
Have a Blessed week and be a Blessing to someone this week.
“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.” (1 John 4:16)

Football Weekend


















BRADENTON — Marquis Green sprinted through the humid air filling Hawkins Stadium on Friday, through Manatee’s defense and into the end zone.
It was midway through the third quarter and Green, along with the rest of the Palmetto Tigers, were hanging with the highly touted Hurricanes.
Less than five minutes later, however, they were not. Manatee’s explosiveness was enough to get the Canes past Palmetto 56-36 in a performance that earned high praise from Tigers coach Dave Marino.

The picture on the left is running back Mike Blakely and on the right is OB Cord Sandburg. They are game breakers for Manatee, Mike is a senior and Cord is a Sophomore. It looks to be an exciting year for the Canes, we will see as they play Southeast next week. Southeast has always been a spoiler for Manatee.



The No. 8 Florida Gators' first meeting with in-state opponent the University of South Florida Bulls resulted in a 38-14 victory for the Gators in front of a crowd of 90,612. The win extended the Gators regular season win streak to 22 games.
The Gators and the Bulls came into Saturday's game tied with four interceptions, the most in the Football Bowl Subdivision on the season, but the Gators defense as if it was deja vu pulled off another stunning four-interception game.Three different Gators combined for the four interceptions which set up 21 of the Gators 38 points. The Gators have now collected an interception in 26 of their last 30 games.The No. 8 Florida Gators' first meeting with in-state opponent the University of South Florida Bulls resulted in a 38-14 victory for the Gators in front of a crowd of 90,612.

As you can see this was my weekend, Friday night HS football and Saturday afternoon and all day college football. That will be my weekends for several weeks. Pat and I did opt not to go to the Gator game as it said it would be a hot day. And looking at the people in attendance, it was dreadfully hot.
Time to go read a book and relax now. have a great week and be Blessed.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4)
