Wow! Double Wow!

Most of my friends and family are major Kentucky Wildcat fans but somehow I slipped through the cracks. Sports just aren't "all that" for me although I enjoy the occasional game. However this afternoon I have had the privilege of meeting Kenny "Sky" Walker, a former Kentucky Wildcat and New York Knicks basketball player as he was traveling through our county on a community project. Maybe because I come from "short" folk but this guy is so tall! He was also very congenial, quite willing to sign autographs and take pictures with the Cats fans.


Being I am not such a fan, I kind of felt a little guilty but immediately thought of you my readers and knew this was a can't miss blog moment! So just for you guys...today I am a Kentucky Wildcat Fan! I must admit it was easy to get caught up in all the excitement of the moment!

As with any such moment, I couldn't help but think about the everyday heroes among us - most who go through life nameless and unrecognized. You just never know what you do today - maybe a thoughtful gesture, a kind word, just going a bit out of your way, will make a difference in the life of someone, giving hope to the hopeless, giving direction to the wondering. Maybe you're not a former basketball star, Olympian, actor, politician, maybe you are a parent, grandparent, teacher, police officer, grocery store clerk, or one of a million other special people - Thank you for being a hero to those in your pathway today!

But, even more importantly, as excited as I was this afternoon, it will be no match for the excitement, joy, love, and nameless other feelings that I cannot even imagine I will feel on that day when I get to meet the Hero of all Heroes, Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Saviour. Wow! Double Wow! What a day that will be!

Until next time...~C~
