8-foot goal I've become a big Grizzlies fan in the last year. I love the way they play. I really don't like NBA basketball, it's boring. There's no defense, just getting out of the way so superstars can show off. Usually, it might as well be a 5 on 5 game of HORSE. But when the Grizzlies play both sides seem to play defense.

2 Treasures (FYI my motorcycle started every day this week) I got to hear 2 treasures speak this week. Steve Tilleros, a Hope treasure, and Micah  Greenstein, a Memphis treasure. Every time I hear these guys speak I wonder if the people in the crowd realize who they are listening to.

He told a million stories about people he loved and always wanted to talk ... Read More
