Schools Out One More Day

If I don't have a ball game to go to on any day after work, you can bet I am watching The Young and the Restless at 4.00pm every day that I can. Just a little past four the info came across the screen that Nash Rocky Mount was a no go again on Wednesday. A few minutes later the telephone call came from RMHS that school was out for one more day but additional information about when the three makeup days will be made up.

You can bet school will be back to normal on Thursday ( maybe a two hour delay) when ever they announce the makeup days even before the latest weather closings are over. The school system relies heavily on the weather forecast and they were right over night last night. It did not freeze as I got in my truck this morning I could hear the dripping off my roof.

This weather this week has pushed basketball into a squeeze. One game is missing right now and when do you make it up? Last Friday's game was pushed up when the weather forecast called for the snow that school is out for now. Once the announcement is made today on Go or no go for school Thursday. Unlike last week's game being pushed up school was in session.

Both the boys and girls are having great years in basketball and I would hate to see them play Thursday without any practice this week. My guess would be Saturday would be the earliest that the Hunt game would be made up or next week will be a three game week. Friday night's game at Fike will go on as scheduled that is of course assuming school will be back to normal then.

I want to change gears completely right now. You may have heard all the controversy going on right now involving Tim Tebow and the commercial that will run in Sunday's Super Bowl involving Tebow's mother talking about abortions.If you believe in anything in the Bible then you know the Bible is against abortions.

Every game that Tim Tebow has ever played he has had a bible verse in his eye shading. I have never thought that Tebow had much potential in the NFL as a quarterback. After last week's Senior Bowl performance he will be lucky to get drafted by any body in the NFL.

I consider myself a Christian and like Tebow am against abortions. The other side is coming out of the wood work to claim that the ad should not run. But, I don't see the other side spending the 3 million dollars to defend their message.

When Tebow graduates college he will have no guarantee that he will have a job. I wish my faith was as strong as Tebow's to make a stand for what I think is right regardless of the consequences.

Who knows the next Billy Graham might be Tim Tebow.
