Miracle in the Music City

After the Thanksgiving Holiday, Marc Cleary and I had the opportunity to travel to Nashville, TN, to visit our close friends, Kevin and Tracy Mawae and their family. What an awesome couple!! They've been fully committed members of Healing Place Church from almost the beginning and have made a huge investment in the spiritual landscape of the NFL. Kevin played his college ball at LSU (who rolled all over Arkansas Friday...Go Tigers!!) and is now with the Tennessee Titans.

The Titans were hosting the New York Giants this past Sunday, and the first 3 quarters were rough. Behind by 3 touchdowns, the Titans were playing sloppy and unable to take care of the ball. With the score 21-0, Tennessee began to turn things around, staging one of the best come-from-behind wins in the league so far this season. They forced a couple of turnovers, converted on a huge fourth down play, and kicked a field goal in the final 6 seconds to win the game...24-21!!! We celebrated and acted like a bunch of junior high kids on the last day of school!

Kevin and Tracy have a beautiful home right outside of Nashville in a city called Franklin. With plenty of room to run and play, they have 19 acres that hold 5 horses, 3 goats, 1 cat, and plenty of deer--you already know about my deer hunting skills...if not, check out my previous post! It was a great change of pace for me--I've never ridden a horse or spent any meaningful time with goats before! A big shout-out to Kevin and Tracy...and their family and friends (Doug and Lisa-great to meet you as well)! Thank you taking such wonderful care of us this weekend and congratulations on a great win Sunday. May the Titans experience many more to come!!!
