SiMPSON DiD iT!

...we UPSET our BiGGEST RiVAL, the Central Dutch in a nervewracking, but AMAZiNG football game last Saturday!

It was a COLD, COLD day, but the STORM was HOT...we went ahead 17-7; Central fought back to tie it (thankfully we held 'em to only a field goal) & the game went in to OT. We scored on a 2nd down 25 yard pass. Then on Central's 2nd down, STORM senior Tim Stover INTERCEPTED it to WiN 24-17! The fact that it was AT CENTRAL made the win even better.

I wish I could see the replay! :D

This was the PERFECT end to a 7-3 season & PERFECT beginning to a new SiMPSON STORM DOMiNATiON..it was very special for the seniors, the NEW coaching staff, the 8 SPiRiTED shirtless guys cheering on a freezing day, & the entire SiMPSON community.

One of those nights.


Sometimes you just have "one of those nights"...where you THANK GOD for family & several friends who unconditionally CARE, SUPPORT, & LOVE you...to ALL OF YOU, I'd like to take this time to sincerely THANK YOU & God bless. I had a life-changing night that I obviously won't go into, but it's one that although I have FAiTH will prove okay in the end, will be an uphill climb...

With that note, I'd like to share with you a couple of my favorite (related) quotes & a Bible verse:

"GOD grant me the SERENITY to accept the things I CANNOT change, the COURAGE to change the things I CAN, and the WISDOM to know the difference. "
- Reinhold Niebuhr

"TRUST in the LORD with all your HEART, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways ACKNOWLEDGE Him, and He shall direct your paths."
- Proverbs 3:5-6

FAITH is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.”
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


...And to others of you out there who have "one of those nights"... you're not alone, HANG iN THERE, tomorrow is a NEW day! :)

The serenity prayer is good one ... God works in mysterious ways and to try to control everything is just waste of energy. Focus on your dreams and passions and everything else will fall into place. Good luck!!!
