It just gives us hope that he will get out of that bed and make it home.

I begged our younger teammates to not let us go home with a loss and we didn't.

He was ready to play again. Good for us, bad for the Fire Department.

In a while, one of us will go up to bedand the other one will follow.Then we will slip below the surface of the nightinto miles of water, drifting down and downto the dark, soundless bottomuntil the weight of dreams pulls us lower still.

Our hope is that we will see a net increase in projects. The needs in our three-county region (Lake, Porter and LaPorte counties) far outstrip the means.

Our hope is that they will become responsible home owners.
