11. Kids ‘ athletic fields here which are better than professional facilities in Israel. They are simply amazing. I don’t just mean that the fields have grass and lack potholes (yes, we ‘ve already surpassed the major leagues elsewhere), but the paths between the fields are paved with concrete, seating is provided with backs, and an awning keeps the shade off of you. I don’t have a picture of it, but once I went to a friend’s kid’s baseball game and I was absolutely floored at how nice the facilities were. They were honestly, no exaggeration, far better than the major league baseball fields in Israel.
Just the regular old soccer field in Plano, Texas
12. We live near a major airport that makes it easy for friends to visit. My parents live in the middle of nowhere, where you have to make six connections to get there. In contrast, it is hard to fly anywhere in the United States without flying through DFW (the third busiest airport in the world). Yes, that is a hint. Yes, you know I’m talking to you.
DFW Airport
There are major league baseball fields in Israel? How come you never took me?
Todd, I have LOVED your “Twelve things I like About Texas” as they have reminded me of how blessed I am to be called a Native Texan.. Thanks
Todd, are you going to include the picture of DFW Airport in your new Pictorial Bible Lands CD? I’m pretty sure somewhere in Joshua it says Texas is the real promised land.
Eric – I would have, but you were always out of the country.
Dan – thank you.
Jason – if it said that, I could no longer hold to inerrancy.
Todd-
Is this what you really meant to say, “an awning keeps the shade off of you,” or was it a typo? ;) P.S. I’ve never flown through either DFW or the new Denver Airport- and I’ve done a bit of flying. I find that fact amusing. Someday, though, I would like to come to Texas. I hear the steak is great. ;)
Todd,
Six connections might be a bit of an exaggeration.
