For the second night in a row, the Rangers were held hitless through the first seven innings. Fourteen innings the last two nights...no hits. Incredible.
John Wasdin reverted back to his "Wayback" Wasdin days, allowing three homeruns in the first two innings and for the second night in a row, the Rangers were scorched by the A's.
Man, I don't want to face the A's brethren at Tahoe next week.

I'm really excited by the news that the elders at Marble Falls have asked Allan Stanglin to join the ministry staff.
Allan is the former sports director at KRLD (the flagship station of the Rangers) and Texas Talk Radio 990 AM. Allan is making a major career change, trading in his work sports broadcasting to attend Austin Graduate School of Theology to earn a Master's degree in Theology. His ambition is to preach and I hear he is outstanding in delivering God's Word.
Working with Allan should be great...if I can stay focused on ministry tasks and not get overwhelmed picking his brain on the Rangers.

Today is my sister's birthday. I have been uniquely blessed in my life to have a sister as special as Melissa in my life. She and Ryan have been ultra successful in their careers and are wonderful Christians. They are fun to be around and great with our kids. And the best part? My sister learned on Wednesday that she is pregnant. After a devastating miscarriage last year, I'd ask that you keep my sister in your prayers, that all will go well with this pregnancy. Melissa and Ryan will be great parents.
Happy Birthday, Sis!

My uncle's twelve day mission of mercy to raise funding for Arkansas Children's Hospital is now half-over. He is riding the perimeter of the state of Arkansas on his bicycle to raise funding for research. If you would like to contribute, send me an email (jgardner@hsnp.com) and I will let you know where to send your gift.
My uncle's ride is just another wonderful example of someone being missional -- of not being an end-user of the blessings of God but serving as a conduit to bless the lives of others.
