Tony Romo

Okay, seriously. The more I hear about this guy, the more I like him! I have a friend with some connections to him (through his brother) who says that he is really truly just a kind-hearted and humble person, and that he has somehow not let his fame change who he is. I read a story a while back about Romo stopping on the side of the road on his way home from a Sunday game to help a couple change their flat. Everything that Jessica Simpson says about him paints him as this humble, grounded, confident, and NORMAL guy. And then there's this story (click on the post title to see the article.) He went to the movies and saw a homeless guy standing out front. So, he invited him to come in with him to see "Role s". I know it shouldn't be THAT impressive, as there are people who do these types of things all the time, but it's just REFRESHING to see that someone with tons of success, money, and fame can maintain humility and compassion. Yay, Tony :)

The Story of Audrey Caroline

Wow.

Ivy, a friend of mine from UT, brought a pretty amazing blog to my attention. It's called "Bring on the Rain: The Story of Audrey Caroline".

I thought I might give a quick synopsis, but I don't even know where to begin. Just click on the link. It will take you to beginning of their story and you can go from there.

Their story is an increddddible testimony to faith, God's power, and the power of relationship/fellowship in Him. Their story is SO humbling.

Love you guys so much!

"God's Quarterback"

Ha! I don't about calling him, "God's Quarterback," but I thought this was a pretty cool story!

I stumbled across this story while on my daily ESPN.com surfing trip :) It's exciting to hear stories like this....stories about people who are taking advantage of the size of their circle of incluence to increase God's Kingdom...without having to be in the spotlight. Pretty inspiring! Check it out...even if you DON'T like football!! ;o)
