World Series Was Amazing!

Our trip to Houston was incredible - fast and furious. We arrived at Minute Maid Field at about 4:30 and the place was already a buzz with the Stros down 3 games to none. "We Bee-lieve" signs were everywhere in honor of the killer bees. I knew in my heart this was likely to be a tough night, but to be at the Series and to see Bagwell and Biggio one more time, it was worth it all. We sat next to some real nice White Sox fans who flew all the way to Houston to see their team win. One was a 2nd generation fan...him and his dad had waited all this time.

They lost Game 4, 1-0 and were literally inches away from tying it in the bottom of the ninth! Every game was just like that. Many records and interesting things took place during this Stros playoff run and the Series. Such as:

1. They played the longest MLB playoff game in history to beat the Braves in the Division Series.

2. They dealt with what some call "the biggest homer ever" when Albert Pujols blasted one off Brad Ledge just one out and one strike away from going to series by winning the next game in St. Louis in convincing fashion.

3. Julie and I met Brad's parents in line at a concession stand and talked to them for awhile. They were some nice people.

4. Game 3 of the Series was the longest World Series game ever ending at 1:30am CST, with the Stros losing a backbreaker 7-5.

5. Games 3 and 4 ended on the same day!

6. Game 4 went longer than any other final World Series Game without a run being scored until the 8th inning.

7. The Series probably featured the last games of Roger Clemens and Jeff Bagwell - too future Hall of Famers.

8. The Series was filled with drama unlike others complete with bad calls, incredible defense, amazing pitching and last minute heroics, most by the White Sox.

9. This was the first World Series for the Astros and the first time the Sox had been since 1959.

10. The Astros won the NLCS and their first World Series birth after playing 7128 baseball games.

11. The 2005 Astros were the first team to start 15 games under .500 to win the NLCS since the 1914 Boston Braves.

ASTROS GO TO THE SERIES!

Finally, after waiting over 32 years, my childhood baseball team has done it! They are going to their first World Series vs. the Chicago White Sox! Wow! I've been watching the Astros since 1974. I am 36 now, but the wait was worth it all...

We have tickets for Game 4 in Houston. I can't wait.

Go Stros!

Hurricane Rita Menaces My Hometown!

Hurricane Rita was category 5 just a few days ago.

It was called the 3rd strongest hurricane ever recorded. Thank God it died down to a category 3 and missed the Galveston/Houston area late last night by about 100 miles.

I grew up just south of Houston and went through Hurricane Alicia in 1983, the last major hurricane to directly hit Houston/Galveston. It was crazy and scary. We still have friends with businesses and homes in that area and thankfully, they were all sparred any major destruction.

It has been a crazy hurricane season....and it's not over yet.

Julie and Sam...

Pray for The Gulf Coast

I've been through a hurricane before. It's not any fun. I've been through two floods. Those aren't fun either. But, I cannot even imagine just what our fellow American's in LA, MS and AL are experiencing as a result of the largest hurricane to ever hit the US, Katrina.

Please do something to help in the reflief efforts. Do more than pray. Give, serve and support.

They needs us now more than ever.

Brady Bunch News

Please see our twins blog for updates on the girls at http://bradysgirls.blogspot.com/.

Brady's 1st Book

Check out my blog "More Than Meets the Eye" at http://nobonesaboutit.blogspot.com/ for information on my first devotional book. Julie is gonna help me edit, so don't worry.

Hope you enjoy it and hope it will make you think.

Ready for Some Football?

The Cowboys are looking good! I just got back from LA where I made my annual trip to training camp. Yep, I'm that big of a fan.

Hard to believe it's time for football again, but it is....just think, Christmas is only 4 months away.

Brady to Lead Young Singles Again

Well, it's true. Crossroads has asked me to help lead the young singles group age 25-35 or so. Basically, the church has very little to offer in the form of singles ministry, so it's gonna require some serious grassroots efforts on my part, but I am excited and Julie is too. After all, if not for the singles group we were in at the time we wouldn't have met nor have some of the friends we do today.

Stay tuned to www.crossroadschristian.net for more soon.

Summer Gives Way to Big Changes!

Yep, hard to believe, but the summer is nearly over. School will begin soon....the Cowboys start training camp next week (yeah!) and my baby girls could arrive anytime in the next 4-6 weeks!

Wow. Life is flying by! Hope you are having fun....

Saying Goodbye to Ashley

Please visit my book blog www.nobonesaboutit.blogspot.com for a tribute to my wife's family friend, Ashley, as she had to be put to sleep today.

She was a great dog. We'll all miss her.

More Than Meets the Eye

I am writing my first book and hope you will be a part of it! Check out my new blog www.nobonesaboutit.blogspot.com for more information. It's gritty, funny, to the point and bold, but I hope God can use it to rattle some cages and straighten me and anyone else out that needs it!

Please give me feeback as we go along. When I get to 100 devotionals/stories I am going to have "No Bones About It - Vol1 " published.
