World Series 2014: Giants Beat Royals in Game 7

“The Giants beat the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium to became the first team in 35 years to win a Game 7 on the road.”

“7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay,
to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed;
perplexed, but not driven to despair;
9 persecuted, but not forsaken;
struck down, but not destroyed; (2 Corinthians 4:7-10)
10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus,
so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.”

Party Rock Anthem

Party rock is in the house tonight / Everybody just have a good time

David and I carpooled to Bonner Springs for Toastmasters, so I will concede poor planning, when I traveled a negative distance back to Grandstand Burgers to pick up the order that I placed at 4:53 p.m. and we did not leave his house until 5:06 p.m. Later, we visited his grandmother, who is just older than Toastmaasters.
