Carie and I love to play the game Boggle. Okay, I love to play the game Boggle and Carie tolerates it. So I got this idea. What about seeing who in the Martyholman.com world would win in a big nasty internet game of BLOGGLE – or the art of playing the game Boggle on my blog. So here are the rules:
*Be the player with the highest score card at the end of a 3 minute time period. Please keep your own time and be honest. You score by listing words of the highest point value you can find in the four rows of letters.
*You’ll just need to go back and forth between the comment section of this page and the letters and type your found words as a comment.
*Letters in words must always connect, although they can connect in any way possible (back and forth, up or down, etc…)
*Proper nouns (Smith, Ohio, France, Heinz, etc…) and abbreviations are not allowed.
*Point values 3 letters=1; 4 letters=1; 5 letters =2; 6 letters=3; 7 letters=5; 8 or more letters=11
*Don’t look at the other peoples answers who might have played before you!
*3 MINUTES ONLY; Be honest.

Here we go!
I watched an incredible game tonight when the Celtics overcame a 24 point deficit in the 2nd quarter, and 18 point deficit at halftime, and a 20 point deficit in the 3rd quarter, to defeat the Lakers 97-91.
Of course I’m a Celtics fan, so I’m a biased, but here’s a thought for you:
Don’t quit.
When you start something that you feel you’re supposed to do, and you set you’re mind to do it, don’t quit, no matter how tough it gets.
You could have a huge crowd against you telling you there’s no way you can do this. You might be getting run over by circumstances spinning out of control. You may even feel like everything you’re doing is failing – words, actions, everything.
But don’t quit. You will get through this.
No excuses. No crying. No bitterness. And…
Don’t quit. (and yes, I’m talking to you)
