The Big Game/Move

The Big Game
Today at 6 p.m MST the Denver Broncos will play the New England Patriots in the Division playoffs.  (Are those angels I hear singing?)  Go Broncos!  (What do you mean this game is NOT the Superbowl?)

The Big Move
Luke and I won't be watching the game like the rest of the state/country/world...we will be on the last leg of our journey from Seattle to our new home in Alaska.

I saw this on Facebook, and it made me laugh.  It's so true!

Leaving "Tebow-time", entering Alaska time.

And now for a funny story--which has been circulating around Facebook and the web so you may have already heard it, but it's perfect to read again--the day of the "big game".

"After living a full life, Tom Brady died and went to heaven.  God personally showed him around, and took him to his house.  It was modest in size...very ordinary, with a faded, tattered New England Patriots flag in the window.
God told Tom, "This house is yours for eternity.  And it's very special.  Not everyone gets a house up here."
Tom nodded and thanked him in appreciation...but then looked down the street and noticed another house.  It was a gigantic mansion.  There were orange and blue sidewalks and driveways, a swimming pool in the shape of a horse, a 50 foot flagpole with a huge Broncos flag waving, and, most noticeably, a gigantic statue of Tim Tebow in the front.
Tom looked at God and said, "Im not trying to be ungrateful, but I was a Hall-of-Fame quarterback, I won three Super Bowls, and I'm in the discussion for the greatest of all time.  So why does Tim Tebow get a better house than me?"
God laughed.  "Tom," he said, "that's not Tim Tebow's house.  It's mine."
