7 papers due this week. And I am already avoiding number one by writing on here. This is not a good sign.
Oh well.
So we had our first games this weekend. Won our first. Lost our second. You really feel leadership when you lose. It hurts more than you ever think it really will. I know that might sound weird to all of you who don't play sports but when you have gone through 5 weeks of straight running and then 3 weeks of hard practice and your body is sore and tired everywhere, you think you can beat anyone. And then you play the number 4 team in the nation and realize you have a lot of improving to do.
Well welcome the number one team in the nation on Friday night. If any of you are bored, you should come check it out...
My friend Shannon and I took some fall pictures today, it was beautiful up here.
Well I need to get back to Francis of Assisi...he has become my latest hero. If you don't know much about him, check him out. Besides renouncing all of his wealth while standing buck naked in front of hundreds, he really knew how to love people genuinly and with the love of Christ. Sometimes I forget how cool it is to actually learn from people in the past...
In his words,
Lord make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love...
Be an instrument this week...just make it a good one...not the annoying one...

The heart of a servant leader suffers in the daily things as it does in the gigantic issues of life. Being faithful in the "dailiness" of life makes you strong for those times that take you by surprise. It is so encouraging to me that God is our "daily" God. My "walking beside me while I'm teaching God", your "playing beside me on the court God." He wants us to know His presence at each moment of our life. It is in knowing His presence at each moment that we Know Strength, Perspective and Hope. Be encouraged in the role He has given you. You are His hope with skin on. Play on.....(and write on too! :) )
Loving you!
That is a beautiful picture of you and Shannon! Well just so you know, I love you so much. I can't wait to come to your game tonight!!
hope the game went well tonight.
