For those that didn't already know this, Missy teaches Texas History. She is an excellent teacher especially when you consider that she never even took a Texas History class. Every year, she plans a trip for her students that involves visiting many historical sites including the Alamo, the state capitol, and the Texas Ranger Museum. On a recent trip, one of her adult sponsors became very excited when he heard that they were going to visit that particular site. He was looking forward to seeing exhibits about Nolan Ryan, Fergie Jenkins, Rusty Greer, and many other baseball heroes. Unfortunately, she had to inform him that this Texas Ranger Museum was closer to the Chuck Norris variety. I probably would have waited to let him know when he got to the museum.
Lots of people are excited about and talking about the baseball Texas Rangers now. The team is on the verge of winning their first World Series. We had hoped that it would be done by the time of Missy's surgery on Thursday, but rain in St. Louis postponed that idea.
Missy and the Rangers have several things in common. Both are expecting something very exciting on Thursday. Both expected it to happen already in the recent past. Both are very entertaining. Both have persevered and are better than ever. Both are going to be rewarded soon for their patience and perseverance.
Join in the cheer with me..."Let's go, Missy, let's go! (clap, clap) Let's go, Missy, let's go!"
