It is now Basketball season in the Nellums household. The kids are playing with the Impact league through our church.

 Aubrey is playing on an all girls team.  She is the oldest on her team. I think she likes it that way.  They had their first game tonight and they won big time. I'm a very pleased momma.  The score was 37 to 9. I think that it's going to be a good season.

Austin and Josiah were on seperate teams to begin with because of the age range. After seeing Austin's team practice we knew that Josiah is just as (if not more than) capable than some of the fellas on Austin's team. Besides, their scheduled games conflicted with each other. It would be difficult to be in two places at one time. Austin's coach allowed Josiah to be on the team. We're glad to see the brothers play together again. I think that they have this "knowing" between them of what the other is going to do during the game.

Little Miss Sydney is cheering for the basketball teams. She finally gets to do it!! She has done so well with learning her cheers. I'm excited to see how she brings it. LOL!

Lord, thank You for the ability that my children have to play the sports that they enjoy. Grant them protection and guidance in every play and cheer. Bring to their remembrance that while they are playing they are still representing You. Help them to be pleasing in Your sight. In Jesus' name. Amen.

with your posts in 2009, huh? I can't keep up! Since I had no immediate advice on the teenager (thank God my daughter has a much attitude than I did at that age), I chose a safer path (smile), but I'll let that other question marinate.

I am a big NFL fan. I watched with mixed emotions, though sadness overwhelmed them all, at seeing Tony Dungy, head of the Indianapolis Colts, announce his retirement today. Yet, I also saw him, on several occasions, talk about investing in young people and 'making the country better.' We need to look at all of our many gifts and talents under the light of their God-potential. May your kids' lights shine bright.
