What a thought provoking Saturday! Yesterday began for me doing laundry and washing my Dads OU hoodie and then attending the estate sale of one of my Plymouths patients Ronnie Bolling. Ronnie had the Football Museum in downtown Sapulpa which he later moved to his house on Water Street. Like my father he was a huge football fan and Sooner fan. I had to buy something at his estate sale that linked OU football and my memory of Ronnie. I settled in on two Fiesta Bowl seat cushions. So, wearing my Dads hand-me-down hoodie and carrying Ronnies seat cushions I set out to attend my first OU home game since my Father passed away. Thanks to my dear friend Kristen Thayer! We had a fun trip going down filled with stories and conversations! We stopped at Grandys in Moore and the food was great and it brought back memories of eating at Grandys with my Mom and Dad, with my old sidekick Sydney Fontenot, and days at the OUHSC eating at Grandys and seeing hookers walking up and down Lincoln BLVD some with feather boas! The game could not have been better and the company was supreme! I paid my respects to two great Sooner fans and simply could not have enjoyed myself to any greater degree. I even got to meet former Sooner hard hitting DB Karl Peters and even ran into my nephew Kevin Mulanax ! It really reminded me that the best way we can pay respects to people who have passed (that we still remember and love dearly) is to live abundantly doing something they would have enjoyed themselves and think of them while we do it! Let me tell you, Saturday was an ABUNDANT day, the kind of ABUNDANCE spoken of in John 10:10 ! Not all religious experiences occur in church, quite a few of them have occurred for me at Memorial Stadium!
