The basketball Jamboree went interestingly Friday night! We lost all three 8 minute quarters.

We play well with these big schools for about half the time, then we run out of steam, we run out of rebounds, and it turns to hyper speed slop ball. The athletes I have are just not used to playing at the necessary speed. That's the critical point of view.

The good point of view is that all this learning curve, all these tournaments and travel are to prepare us for our conference play in January, in Fairbanks. In which we can win our 4 team conference and get a bid to the Alaska state tournament, Hoosiers style, biggest division, smallest school CINDERELLA STYLE! :)

Just got back from church - lots of slow hymns......but several good Christmas carols. A good guest speaker who spoke of praying and believing: FAITH. Stepping out in R-I-S-K, out in Faith. Go big, don't hold back - we don't have to wait for Him to return to see miraculous things! Pray for these people! The same spirit that raised him from the dead is in us!!!!

To conclude this quick blog, here's a question:

Does anyone really purchase Beyonce albums on purpose and embrace them in all their hip hop muscial glory, or is it the truth that you just hear it on commercials and on the radio thinking, "Humph, Beyonce, okay. Next song then." Best album of the year nomination?!?!?

2 weeks till Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PRESENTS, BASKETBALL, TRAVEL, GOOD TIMES, FAMILY!!!!
