No. 5 Southern Nazarene University turned a close first half into a dominant second-half performance Saturday afternoon, rolling past Southwestern Oklahoma State 83–55 inside the Sawyer Center to remain unbeaten on the season and in Great American Conference play.

The Crimson Storm (10–0, 4–0 GAC) and Bulldogs (3-7, 0-4 GAC) traded momentum early, with neither side able to create much separation in the opening 20 minutes. SNU carried a slim 35–32 advantage into the break after steady interior play and timely buckets kept the Storm in front.

This Christmas, our 5-year-old grandson brings to life the awe and wonder of Christmas when I was 5 years old.

While I was asleep on a cold winter’s night Santa flew through the sky over Philadelphia, PA. in a sleigh pulled by eight tiny reindeer. Their hooves clicked on the rooftop. Santa came down the chimney with presents for me and ate cookies by the fireplace.

Up the chimney he bounded and said, “On Dasher! Now Dancer, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet, on Cupid, Donner and Blitzen! Now dash away, dash away, dash away all.”

Dale German and his lovely wife Emmalyn attended my church’s Christmas Nativity Pageant Comedy on Sunday, December 14.

It was good to have met my column-writing colleague after all these years. Dale remarked that he was also looking forward to the tasting party afterwards in hopes of tasting one of the recipes I’ve shared in this space.
