FYI; This is Kat's dad and this is my first posting. Although I do enjoy the soccer banter on this site, I have refrained from making any postings in the past as I thought they would be considered both self serving and may generate a backlash towards my daughter (she already carries a big enough target on her back). But as fate would have it events from the past couple days have lead me to use this forum to give thanks to so many.
First, I thank God for His wisdom to leave Liz with us. With all these kids she still has lots of unfinished work right here. I also thank Him for putting Dr. Jimmy Walthrop (spelling?) and all the great medical staff in Livingston and Erlanger along our path. She is now at home recovering slowly but nicely. I expect her to be out along the soccer picth with her huge lens and camera by regionals.
Second, I thank God for my immediate Family, our Church Family especially Dee, Ron Huitt and Eva, and our soccer Family especially Robert, Laura, Bill, Vyroone, ARR, Bob Sotis, and Mrs. Thompson. There are many more names to be listed and surely not enough bytes of memory to do so.
It has been the out pouring of prayers and concern from all over TN that has made me realize how fortunate we are to live here. To the players, parents and staff at FRA I have been made aware of your genuine concern expressed @ Tuesdays game and all I can say is that Liz, Kat myself and the rest of our gang are now FRA fans. God Bless all of you and good luck at State.
I leave you with this thought: Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.
