Celtic Classic

[ken-du]

I have been invited to go to IRELAND and SCOTLAND for the First Annual Scottish- American slow-pitch Classic
(june 29 - july 13) We /They (i not sure if i,m going) will be playing in Dublin,Edinburgh,Waterford and Kinsale.
I might get a chance to see/catch Nessie the Loch Ness Monster visit Sterling Castle and the William Wallace Monument in Braveheart Country and will try to be the First and Only, bald head black guy in RIVERDANCE ( i bet i could show them a thing or two about dancing.) But there is a hang-up. My wife has ask me not to go. She"s telling me to give up my spot on the team and let some other player go. I have been to Europe twice, Mexico and Japan in the last three years she feels there is nothing for me to gain by going on this trip. I know she's right but my EGO is saying GO.
What do the Temptation fans say ?

Well Ken.......my feeling is: one: you got to live with your wife and that's just another trip. Two: if you don't need the money then why go? The climate right now is not that good in Europe so I bet that's really why she doesn't want you to go. She's doing that love thing on you, bro.

But the fact remains that his chances of being killed in a car wreck a mile from his house are greater than being killed or whatever by terrorists over in Ireland.

I say, unless it REALLY makes your wife upset go! Do it for all of us who don't have the opportunity!

ken du- you know you are one of my inner circle of heroes. i admire and respect you. take it to God in prayer with your wife,as well as alone. it's good to be on the same wavelength. i see no problem going to ireland.
i had 2 seperate friends just came back from italy. they went coincidentally the same week to the same place but do not know each other. they said it was cheap to fly right now because of the FEAR-False Evidence Appearing Real.

go for it.or honor your marriage and take your wife's counsel to heart as you decide.
