This weekend my Engineer Husband, Sculptor Son, Soccer Son, and Exchange Student Friend went to the Va Tech-Florida State Game at Charlotte. This being their first game was a series of adventures. First, we saw God's hand as the tickets came available at a great discount. Second, they braved cold weather and all but my Sculptor Son, wore the ski pants, following my suggestion. They told about yelling, rooting, and rallying for the University Team that their parents and friends attended. The noise level on the cell phone was pretty loud and the crowd was really rowdy. The Sculptor, Soccer player, and Exchange Student (Missionary/Architect) all joined in the fray, coming from points afar, to carry the Va Tech team to victory. What a picture! The players, staff, and entire industry all come together to create good times for the fans, and the new-fans...
I just picture my silver-haired tall, good-looking husband, my 15 yr old soccer player son with dark coppery curls, and Jose, from the equator, enjoying the camaraderie and the sports scene, in his big-hearted way, before he goes home to study; and all three bundled in down and polyfill, while my long-haired, bearded son in his city gear coat, jeans, and artist's demeanor raises his voice and fist to cheer for the Tech team. Good times, tiempos buenos! And they are connected to me, the wife, mother, and sister in the Lord, and friend; Me, Bolivian-born, and Christ-follower, and culture-phile, and Va. Tech Hokie!
