It's not over 'til it's over!

(The following was written ten years ago)

I am still sore today. The Reed, Jespersen, Nichols Seattle clan had a picnic last week, mainly to be with Steve and Jean Jespersen and children from Chicago who are staying with us for a week of vacation. (Steve is Dad Jespersen’s younger son). It was great to be with the family.

Little D.J. (David Joseph; Julie’s son), Robby (my son) and I played the much younger Reed’s and Jespersen’s in a game of football. You would not believe it, but the Nichols team won! In fact, old man Doug caught a long pass for the final winning touchdown! So, always remember, the game is not over until it is over!

“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren [and sisters], be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:57-58, nasb).
