Two weeks ago at church, when a coach was introduced as the speaker, I must admit, I immediately started wiggling. It was not a physical wiggling, but my mind was doing mental aerobics for sure. I had several random thoughts:*I am not a sports minded woman*I don't know who is playing in the Superbowl*I am not particularly concerned that I don't know*I was always the last to be picked for teams when we played games in school*My tennis coach in college told me when the Special Olympics were going ...
