Missing "Pop"

This years winner of the Pops Scholarship, Josh Molter

Fresh faces, dang cute clothes, clubs, golf balls and parents, grandparents and kids. Thats some of what the Pops Memorial Tournament is about.  But mostly its about kids learning a game that Barbara's dad loved and played and turned into a lifetime passion... golf.  This was the second annual tournament and they had a lot of repeat participants and lots of fun.  Thankfully it wasn't as hot as last year... only 100 rather than 112 degrees!  I truly enjoy this tournament, watching these kids grow in their skills and love and determination for a game.  Thank you for inviting me Barbara!

The Ayala Family Serves Us All

Robert, Shanda, Starlynn, Jacob and Nathan Ayala are preparing for Robert's deployment to Afghanistan.  This will be his last deployment.  He retires in 13 months so life will drastically change for them once he returns.  Shanda certainly has her hands full this two wirey little boys and this beautiful preteen girl.
Robert, Thank you for your service years and your willingness to attend to the things that those of us here in West Texas don't even understand.  You have our prayers, sir.
