“We Are The Champions”

Yesterday the Pink Panthers went up against the Blue Belles for the season’s opener soccer game.  We pick up the action at Wiggly Field in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

“Hi, I’m Ben Dover sitting here with Charity Case reporting from the sidelines here at Wiggly Field.  The season’s opener is about to begin with an air of excitement stirring throughout the crowd.” 

“The Pink Panthers are being coached this year by none other than the famous high school football player, Matt Patterson, who has never played a soccer game in his life.  He was assistant coach to the Panthers last year when they went undefeated.  Just goes to show you that anyone can do this!!!”

“As you can remember from last year, we’ve been following the career of the Panthers’ talented Catia “The Cat” Patterson.  “The Cat” because she’s light and quick on her feet and plays well on both offense and defense.  Also, the Panthers have another secret weapon in Megan “Mega-bomb” Thompson.  Between these two players, the Panthers should have a great season.  What do you think Charity?”

“Well, as I see it, this is going to be a tight game.  The Blue Belles are in pretty good shape beginning the season with no injuries so far.  I see the teams taking the field now, let’s watch the kick off.”

“And the game is underway!!”

“Oh my goodness, the Panthers are getting an early start with a score by Meagan “Mega-bomb” Thompson!!”  “SCORE!!!”

“And the crowd goes wild!!”

“Well, it’s half time here at Wiggly Field with the Panthers leading 5 to 1.  With Catia “The Cat’s” finesse in playing defense and setting up plays on offense and Megan “Mega-bomb’s” ability to kick goals, this team seems unstoppable.”

“Charity, the third quarter has ended .  We are now starting the last quarter and here comes “The Cat”.  She is going to play the goalie position.  This has been a great season’s opener for the Panthers.” 

“The game is winding down now with one minute left to go, and Mega-Bomb kicks in another goal – SCORE!!!  Wow, she has scored six of the Panthers eight goals; now you know where her nic name comes from, Charity.”

“The Panthers win eight to one.  What a game and the crowd is ecstatic while singing ‘We Are The Champions’!!”

“That’s it from Wiggly Field.  You’ll have to tune in again on Monday evening for the next Panther game.  I’m Ben Dover . . .”

“And I’m Charity Case . . .”

“Saying so long from Wiggly Field.”

“Be sure to give Ilene my best, Ben.”

Well, that’s pretty much how it went for Saturday’s game.  Last evening we attended the World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro where Catia was in the kids choir – what a great performance.  Catia was in great form for that presentation, that’s for sure.  Grandma Judy and Grandpa Darrell enjoy being part of our grand children’s lives.

Today we’ll attend Church On The Eastern Shore via internet and then return to World Outreach Church this evening to get the conclusion of last night’s sermon.  “The rest of the story”, so to speak.

So, Take Time To Worship and May God Bless  - - - - - - - -
