Footy fever

This coming Saturday afternoon... 27th September... sees the Geelong Cats thrash the Hawthorn Hawks (it's that obvious!) in the AFL Grand Final at the MCG. It will be a pale reflection of the skill, commitment, athleticism, courage and general spectacle of the Tasmanian Reformed Churches 'North vs south' footy game held on that same morning. And yes, I'm putting myself forward to participate in this illustrious contest. Last years fixture produced a badly broken finger, busted knee and a damaged back on our team... (and that was just the half time talk!)

All of this is tonic to someone in their mid thirties who would like to be more active but probably doesn't do enough consistent exercise... and as for me... toned... taut... ultra prepared... it's meat and drink! RRRRR!
Please pray that I am toned... taut... ultra prepared for the sermon I'll need to preach Sunday morning... and that I'll be in a physical state to deliver it!

Ali is looking forward to seeing the last of footy for a while as it takes a big break over the summer.
