My Slow Takes About Quebec, Randy Travis and Young Missionaries.

1. The “Battle of the Plains of Abraham” occurred in the French Province of Quebec, September 13, 1759. The battle led to the defeat of the French in North America, ending the French and Indian War. The video is a CBC reconstruction of the battle. Thank you to Ralphus at Flintlock and Tomahawk.

2. Richmond Spiders added another win by beating Hampton Saturday afternoon. They are now 2-1.

"Today was a complete team victory, a good team win. It was important for me and the staff to be calm, show some poise this week and show some confidence in our players.  Our depth shows that we can play a number of different ways and I think in the long run that will benefit us. I think we are in a good spot heading into week four."
-- Richmond head coach Danny Rocco

3. The Irish Lads cooled the Purdue Boilermakers shutting them down in the second half. The first two quarters were exciting as both teams fought for yardage. Purdue 14 and Notre Dame 17. A great start for the season, 3-0. The next opponent are the Syracuse Orangemen on Saturday the 27th.

4. Randy Travis earned the American Music Award of 1989 for his song, “I Told you So.” In 2009 he performed a duet with Carrie Underwood on “American Idol.”

5. One of the local squirrels came up to our front door the other morning. I told him no solicitors and no food.

I don't no stinkin' peanuts, just Cheez-its!

6. Katie Hargrove is one of the young members of our “Church of the Epiphany” community. She is participating in the “Fellowship of Catholic University Students.” She is need of prayers and/or donations to assist her in her mission. Information at “FOCUS.”

“We commit to build our own relationship with Christ, live Christ-centered lives, and meet college students where they are. By reaching out and building friendships with them, we gain the opportunity to introduce them to Christ and His Church. We equip those students who accept an invitation to a deeper relationship with Christ by investing in them one-on-one (for 1 hour/week) in Discipleship . In Discipleship, we "Teach teachers to teach" (2 Tim 2:2), so that they go on to successfully lead others to the foot of the Cross. We also lead 2-3 weekly bible studies, plan outreach events and make ourselves radically available to the students on the campus where we serve.” 

7. Anna Murphy, another young Epiphany community member, has joined “The World Race.” It is an 11-month, 11-country journey in which participants discover the power of God to change lives, as they minister and serve around the world.” She is also in need of prayers and or donations.
