My Facebook friends know that my recent sickness granted me time to watch more sports over the weekend than I have in quite awhile.  I particularly enjoyed a fair amount of the U.S. Open, despite the rain delays.  For those of you who missed last night's Women's Finals. ...

News Update:  Kim Clijsters, a 26-year-old Belgian, became the first mother to take a Grand Slam title since Evonne Goolagong Cawley won Wimbledon 1980. Go mom!  I called it before the game, but not when she was a wild card.

"The fairy tale goes on - some how, I'm in the US Open final on Sunday beating both Venus and Serena along the way... am i dreaming???" -- the often "quoted" quote from Clijsters' Twitter page

Here's the touching video of her daughter Jada during the post-match interview and her 'run to the title' ;-)  May God continue to grant the grace for Kim's work (even as succesful, "celebrity" athlete) and family to truly mix. I don't know much about their family's personal life or faith, but I think their witness of placing a high priority on family is a strong statement to our culture.
