Basketball vs. Warsaw

well at tonights game we played warsaw, my coaches old coaching job. so you kno he wanted this one bad! so i get in the game with like 2 or so minutes left in the 2nd quarter and i play a little and then my coach calls a time out. so im like ok we are gonna talk about defence. so i start to head over to the bench and all of a sudden i hear my coach just laying into me, just flat out screeming at me. he is yelling and people are looking at him and well probably at me too! I wasn't even really aware of what i did wrong. all i heard was yelling! he asks me if i want to play and i said yes i do. so we end up winning the game and so my coach is in a happier mood so i act like everything is ok but it truly wasn't even close. after the game i go and talk to Lori and she said she could hear him yelling at me clearly and she was sitting almost at the top of our gym. after the varsity won i went to the golden arches for some food. so i called my mom and let her know i was going there and she told me to call my dad cuz he wanted to talk to me so i did when i hung up with my mom. My dad told me that when my coach was yelling at me the people from warsaw were talking amongst themselves and my dad lives in warsaw and his neighbor plays basketball so his parents were there and they called my dad after the game and talked to him about the whole ordeal and said he, my coach, did the same thing to their son and he almost quit basketball. so my dad and i talked for awhile and i felt a little better. i forgive my coach for what he did, but i can guarentee i will never forget what he did! I will be praying for him so that maybe, if he knew he did something wrong, that he can forgive himself and become a better person from it! well i thank you for reading! i needed to get this off my chest! i will post yall later! ByeBye and God Bless!!!!!!!

Yes that is a Screw driver! :D

Fire

Well I woke up this morning to my mother screaming at me to look out the window. I did and well I saw smoke and I asked her what it was and to my suprise it was the Nappanee Movie Theatre, John's Butcher Shop, and some carpet store! What does this mean for the city of Nappanee? Maybe a new movie theatre, new butcher's shop? well we dont really need a new carpet store. Well this is just not been a good few months for Nappanee but we can make it through! Please pray for those who may have lost their houses above those buildings and the was a person who was taken away because they might have injuries! Please keep them in your prayers!!! I will talk to you all later! ByeBye and God Bless!!!!!

Final Day of Break :(

So school starts back up tomorrow and I am definitely not ready for it to come!!!! I had a great break but it seemed way too short!! The other thing is that I don't really wanna go back to the same classes; I'm ready for this tri-mester to be over!!! I can't wait till third tri! We continued the basketball season last week. JV got a nice win on Friday night against Wawasee, and trust me it was sweet! But the Varsity did do as well! There were 36 fouls committed by NorthWood and 5 people fouled out, 4 of our starters. So we have one more practice before we face Elkhart Central on Tuesday in Elkhart. So hopefully we can win out the rest of the season! That would be sweet!!!!!! OK well I should probably get going to church. I will catch you guys later!! byebye and God Bless!!!!!

Hello 2008

Well 2008 came in a rawring late last night/ early this morning! Pounding us with snow and cold. But despite the bad weather to start the year I feel that this is going to be a great year! I have made some new years resoultions and I plan to stick to them this year!

• Not to be so hard on my self
• Read my Bible more
• Keep a consistant TAWG (Time Alone With God)
• Actually being apart of something bigger than myself
• Being an Even Nicer person
• And just flat out Respecting people more

I truly feel that 2008 could be the best year of my life so far! I've got my Faith, I've got my Lady, and I've got my Friends! I can't possibly believe that this could be a bad year because it has all the makings of a great year!! But the thing I want to do the most this year is to become a HARD CORE Man of God!!! I want people to see me and know that there is something different about me! I want to be able to let His Word flow from my lips and just allow myself to be more open to sharing my faith! I want to meet with guys on a regular basis and have accountability meetings and have prayer time and such! I truly think that 2008 can be one of my BIGGEST Spiritual years yet!
