TRIVIA NIGHT

If you find yourself at loose ends this evening (Friday), consider joining us for TRIVIA NIGHT, which starts at 7:00. You’ve missed the early registration at $5, but it’s only $10 at the door; with door prizes, refreshments and other goodies, not to mention the fellowship, it’s still a pretty great deal.

Today’s the second anniversary of a day I still have trouble characterizing. Two years ago, Nancy and I moved to Omaha from Springfield, Missouri. The night before, we’d been with my parents, who also lived in Springfield, to say our goodbyes. My dad had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. We knew his time was sort, and sometime in the night, he passed away. If I can ever get my head around the events of September 14, 2005, I’ll share it with you in a sermon, but I’m not there yet.

Dan Trombla tells me the Huskers have a genuine chance to win tomorrow night—and that’s good enough for me. My prediction: Huskers 31, USC 24.
