We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.
"Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement.
One fails forward toward success."

C. S. Lewis


"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen:
not only because I see it,
but because by it I see everything else."

C. S. Lewis




I have come home at last!
This is my real country!
I belong here.
This is the land
I have been looking for all my life,
though I never knew it till now...
Come further up, come further in!

― C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle

“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.”


J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring


“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

J.R.R. Tolkien

Tonight's the night. It's nearly here.
It's time to play some ball.
For 'frogs or dogs, 'twill soon be clear
the ones, who win it all.

For me, I'd like to think I know
the way it needs must end,
but "toss-up" action makes good show
for those, whose hopes can blend.

The bulk of life for me's been lived
in Texas and in GA.
That TCU has now arrived,
their winning's my best draw,

but Georgia knows 'bout half my life.
The dogs are really strong.
So, if they win without much strife,
tomorrow's work's a song.

Yet, I was born in "Cattle Town,"
Fort Worth, if you don't know.
I hope the Horned Frogs wear the crown.
How far we've seen them grow!

Right now it's time to watch the game.
I pray the hope will last
for newbies, who'll no more be the same.
A win would be a blast.

The time is now. The game must start,
a victor will be crowned.
I pray for peace within my heart.
Adrenaline will abound.
