Ah Saturday

This morning I went to watch my nephew, Dillon, play basketball with the UPWARDS basketball league in Glen Burnie. It was painful in some ways to watch because the kids know nothing about how to play, and it requires a lot more skills (running, dribbling, passing, defending, shooting, etc) than soccer (kicking). I'm sure in a couple weeks though they will get much better. The coaches and refs were super supportive and patient.

Basement update: I've got the room 90% sanded, and Corie has volunteered to help me finish it up. This week I'll be painting, hanging the door, and if possible putting the flooring in.

There is one more part of refreshment that I'll enjoy this weekend. Tonight the Ravens are playing in the second round of the playoffs (Go Ravens!) and on a typical Saturday night I go to bed around ten o'clock in order to be fresh enough to preach the next morning. I take it very seriously. Pastor Ariel is preaching tomorrow so I've got permission to stay up and watch a great game tonight. I'm very thankful and looking forward to it.
